"As expected, many of the documents have been heavily redacted, giving little insight into Epstein's horrifying operation or the many big names - including numerous former presidents and celebrities, as well as a laundry list over other wealthy and powerful figures - who were connected to him. And adding to the sense that the government doesn't have the interests of transparency in mind, at least 16 photos have mysteriously disappeared from the archive after its initial release, as the Associated Press reports,"
"including an image that showed president Donald Trump - a revelation that will likely throw gasoline on an already brightly burning political fiasco. While it remains unclear why the files were being deleted, the news has already sparked major outcry, with some accusing the Trump administration's Justice Department of trying to protect Trump, who was once close friends with Epstein."
""What else is being covered up?" the official account of the Democrats' Oversight Committee tweeted in response to the latest news. "We need transparency for the American public." The image, appended to the tweet, shows framed photographs on what appears to be a desk. One photo in the bottom left, inside an open drawer, appears to show Trump's face. (Trump has been photographed alongside Epstein on several occasions.)"
The Department of Justice launched a webpage containing hundreds of thousands of records from its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Many documents are heavily redacted, revealing little about Epstein's operation or the wealthy and powerful figures connected to him, including former presidents and celebrities. At least 16 photos disappeared from the archive after initial release, with one image reportedly showing President Donald Trump. The removal prompted outcry and accusations that the Justice Department sought to protect Trump. The image was later restored, and the deputy attorney general said the removal was due to concerns the photo contained victims' images, denying political motives.
