"You can see in that photo, there's photographs of women, Blanche said. And so we learned after releasing that photograph that there were concerns about those women and the fact that we had put that photo up. So we pulled that photo down. It has nothing to do with President Trump. There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the public seeing him with Mr. Epstein. He has said that in the '90s and early 2000s he socialized with him."
"A few hours later, the DOJ posted to social media that it had returned that photo to the Epstein Library. The Southern District of New York flagged an image of President Trump for potential further action to protect victims, the post explained. Out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Justice temporarily removed the image for further review. After the review, it was determined there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph, and it has been reposted without any alteration or redaction,"
The Department of Justice temporarily removed and then reposted a photo from the Jeffrey Epstein files after an initial release that omitted about 15 files. The image showed a desk drawer containing photographs of Donald Trump and other women. The Southern District of New York flagged the image to assess potential victim-protection concerns, prompting the temporary removal for further review. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the removal related to concerns about the women pictured and was not because President Trump appeared in the photo. After review, the DOJ found no evidence that Epstein victims were depicted and reposted the image unaltered.
