"Driving the news: The Associated Press, CBS and other outlets reported that more than a dozen files that were previously available in the documents released Friday were no longer accessible Saturday. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on "Meet the Press" Sunday that speculation that a photo was removed because Trump was in it was "laughable." He told NBC's Kristen Welker that the DOJ removed the photo because of the women who were also included in it."
"Zoom in: The New York Times and the Associated Press both reported that 16 files were gone Saturday, while CBS News said at least 15 were missing. One missing showed a desk covered in photos - including, reports said, pictures of former President Clinton and Trump. In one, Trump is seen with his wife, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In another, NBC reported, Trump is pictured with women, including at least one in a bikini."
More than a dozen files previously available in a Department of Justice document release became inaccessible the following day. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called speculation that a photo was removed because President Trump appeared in it "laughable" and said the DOJ removed the image because of concerns for the women pictured. Media outlets reported that 15 to 16 files were missing, including images showing a desk covered in photographs and pictures of Trump with others, including Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and at least one photo showing a woman in a bikini. Congressional Democrats pressed for transparency and signaled potential litigation, contempt or impeachment measures.
