Could Trump destroy the Epstein files?

In political exile at his mansion in Florida, under investigation for possessing highly classified documents, Donald Trump summoned his lawyer in 2022 for a fateful conversation. A folder had been compiled with 38 documents that should have been returned to the federal government. But Trump had other ideas.

Making a plucking motion, Trump suggested his attorney, Evan Corcoran, remove the most incriminating material. "Why don't you take them with you to your hotel room, and if there's anything really bad in there, like, you know, pluck it out," Corcoran memorialized in a series of notes that surfaced during criminal proceedings.

Trump's purported willingness to conceal evidence from law enforcement as a private citizen is now fueling concern on Capitol Hill that his efforts to thwart the release of Justice Department files in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation could lead to similar obstructive efforts — this time wielding the powers of the presidency.

Last week, facing intensifying public pressure, the House Oversight Committee released over 20,000 files from Epstein's estate that referenced Trump more than 1,000 times.

Those files, which included emails from Epstein himself, showed the notorious financier believed that Trump had intimate knowledge of his criminal conduct. "He knew about the girls," Epstein wrote, referring to Trump as the "dog that hasn't barked."
