"After analyzing the DOJ's public Epstein database, the paper identified tens of thousands of files that appeared to be missing. When reporters Sadie Gurman and Caitlin Ostroff pressed the Justice Department about the discrepancy, a spokeswoman confirmed that 47,635 documents were being held offline for further review. The department hadn't previously volunteered that information and confirmed it only after being asked directly about the gap."
"The Journal reports that the Justice Department released one FBI interview summary from a woman who alleged that Jeffrey Epstein abused her as a minor while withholding three additional interview summaries from the same witness. The documents that were withheld are the ones in which she discussed President Donald Trump."
The Wall Street Journal discovered that the Justice Department held approximately 47,635 Epstein-related documents offline that were missing from its public database. After reporters pressed the DOJ about the discrepancy, a spokeswoman confirmed the files were being held for further review, information the department had not previously disclosed. The discovery is significant because the DOJ had previously characterized document release problems as routine logistical issues involving tagging errors and privacy reviews. More critically, the Journal found that the department released one FBI interview summary from a woman alleging Epstein abuse while withholding three additional summaries from the same witness—specifically those in which she discussed President Trump.
