  1. If important documents were hidden or removed that undermines trust the public deserves full transparency and accountability

    >The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump. NPR’s Stephen Fowler reports.

    NPR confirmed:

    * DOJ is hiding the FBI interviews from a survivor who alleges Trump sexually abused her when she was 13 years old

    * The FBI deemed the survivor credible enough to conduct 4 interviews

    * Also DOJ’s star witness in Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial said Trump knew about Epstein’s crimes

    That has been the reason for the delay since the very beginning.

    Anything to protect Dear Leader, anything to keep the grift going.

    They’re going to name a SuperMax prison after trump, and he and all his toadies will enjoy 3 hots and a cot while America attempts to reverse their damage.

    A fella can dream, can’t he?

    Shocker! Also, these files still exist, and the DOJ knew people would notice. This is just another dumb distraction.

  6. No shit, it’s the most obvious cover up in history. In *2026* some people believe this horse cock bullshit…crazy.

  7. Bondi stated, “There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime,”

    She lied under oath.

  8. So we have the crime and the coverup in one report.

    I mean, it’s time, already. Let’s admit we as a country effed this up and get rid of this monster. There’s no more plausible deniability, no more shade or obfuscation.

  9. And they discovered it in the stupidest possible way.

    Evidence documents are numbered. It’s called a Bates number. When you sue someone and get a bunch of documents from them, each one gets a Bates number.

    The Epstein documents’ Bates numbers were sequential. NPR noticed a skip in the numbers.

  10. The left aren’t surprised because they knew this. The right aren’t surprised because they don’t believe NPR. Nothing comes of it as usual. Zzz

    So this is one of the reasons our *president* wanted us to forget about it and move on.

    I’m shocked

  12. Our whole world is a lie & a scam. I am so sad. It’s just pure evil all around. And we are all enslaved to it.

  13. Speaking as someone who’s seen this with my own eyes, it seems that any/all negative publicity regarding Trump, if not excused or defended, is simply ignored.

    A Trump supporting friend, when I mentioned the Minn. ICE shootings, he first replied that we can’t trust videos because of AI. Then, when I expounded on the sources, witnesses, etc., he spoke like he never really saw the videos except for maybe one that wasn’t clear enough.

    It appears like all this info because it is contrary to his view of Trump, will simply be filed away and ignored.

    THIS DOJ?!? No… say it ain’t so!

    “I’m, like, wicked honest and stuff.” – Pam Bondi, Confirmation testimony

    So…She lied? Is that what you’re trying to convince me of?

    I’m having a hard time believing thi/s.

  15. “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy, he’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

    – Donald Trump in 2002

  16. And there’s no way to punish them. Cause they’re the ones supposed to be the ones punishing. I feel like I’m living in hell.

  17. No really, DOJ wouldn’t do that! ….. They wouldn’t commit a criminal act to cover up Trump’s offences and indiscretions. I can see once Democrats get back into power the night of the long knives will come out to start cleaning house of a corrupt president and government.

  18. Why isn’t this getting more traction in the msm? Seems like it would be magnified in light of the SOTU.

    this should be top news all across the country. Yet they will try to hide this as much as possible
