Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump

(NPR) 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.

Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR's investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly.

The Justice Department declined to answer NPR's questions on the record about these specific files, what's in them, and why they are not published.

I truly believe that a huge coverup has taken place to hide the details that reveal quite literally that the POTUS is Pedophile of the US and the DOJ FBI and others are all corrupted

missing files, they contain allegations of rape, assault and child molestation. We know the accuser was a little girl at the time and was interviewed as an adult on four separate occasions by the FBI.

You know what we're not hearing? The Felon screaming at the top of his lungs, "it's a lie, I'm going to sue their asses off. I'm going to sue her for $10 billion dollars. It's political. The Democrats put her up to this."

Nope, nothing, crickets.
Where are the Republican leaders, getting to the bottom of this?
Nothing, crickets.
If the Republicans want to feel like winners they're gonna have to change parties.
