Bondi also told president at the meeting that Justice decided to not release more Jeffrey Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims.

Conspiracy theorists don't realize they're on the fringe
arstechnica.com
... Belief in conspiracy theories is often attributed to some form of motivated reasoning: People want to believe a conspiracy because it reinforces their worldview, for example, or doing so meets some deep psychological need, like wanting to feel unique.
However, it might also be driven by overconfidence in their own cognitive abilities, according to a paper published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin. The authors were surprised to discover that not only are conspiracy theorists overconfident, they also don't realize their beliefs are on the fringe, massively overestimating by as much as a factor of four how much other people agree with them.
"I was expecting the overconfidence finding," co-author Gordon Pennycook, a psychologist at Cornell University, told Ars. "If you've talked to someone who believes conspiracies, it's self-evident.
I did not expect them to be so ready to state that people agree with them. I thought that they would overestimate, but I didn't think that there'd be such a strong sense that they are in the majority. It might be one of the biggest false consensus effects that's been observed." ...
Odd that when Democrats had to power to release the documents it was crickets. Now that Biden's auto-pen stooges had time to obliterate all chain of custody of the documents, these claims are being made. Given all of the false charges leveled against Trump over the last 12 years if there was anything incriminating it would have been leaked by now. So yawn.

The Biden administration and DOJ were bound by federal grand jury secrecy laws and court precedents, which prohibit them from releasing the Epstein files unless a judge specifically orders their disclosure through an established legal process. Neither the Trump nor Biden administrations had the legal authority to release the files on their own[1][2][3][9].

Biden followed the law. Trump and Bondi promised to break this law, then decided to lie to the public stating that the Epstein files didn't exist at all. Then lied again claiming the files were manufactured by B. Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton, something he now refers to as a witch hunt. And guess what's now being leaked? HAHAHA! Nice self-own, cultist!
Jeffrey Epstein Update: Read The Deposition That Ghislaine Maxwell Fought To Hide (2020)
www.npr.org
... Ghislaine Maxwell's answers to questions about the sex-trafficking operation she allegedly ran with the late Jeffrey Epstein were made public Thursday as a federal court released Maxwell's 2016 deposition. The transcript is more than 400 pages long, but it has been redacted to protect the privacy of some people it mentions.
The transcript is finally being unsealed after a back-and-forth legal battle between Maxwell and Virginia Giuffre, who has accused Maxwell, Epstein and others of sexually abusing her when she was a minor. In it, Maxwell repeatedly denies "recruiting" girls for Epstein or taking part in orgies and other activities. ...
Can Ghislaine Maxwell be trusted to tell the truth about Jeffrey Epstein?
July 24, 2025, 4:02 PM CDT / Updated July 24, 2025, 5:20 PM CDT
As the uproar over the Epstein files continues, prosecutors say the late sex offender's longtime accomplice has a history of lying. Her defense lawyer says she will speak truthfully.
On Thursday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell for several hours in a Florida U.S. attorney's office. On Aug. 11, Maxwell is scheduled for a jailhouse deposition sought by the House Oversight Committee.
As the uproar over the Epstein files continues, a central question is whether Maxwell can be trusted to tell the truth.

That Trump was found guilty of a lesser charge is meaningless.
Judge says E Jean Carroll allegation Trump raped her is substantially true' in court dismissalTrump's a self-admitted sexual assaulter. Or have you forgotten the hot mic Access Hollywood incident or the dozens of women who've made claims, including a then 13-year-old?
Donald Trump suffered another legal reversal on Monday, losing his counterclaim for defamation against E Jean Carroll, the writer against whom he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation and fined $5m, and who continues to pursue a separate defamation case against him.
Dismissing the counterclaim, a judge in New York, Lewis A Kaplan, said that when Carroll repeated her allegation that Trump raped her, her words were "substantially true". Kaplan also set out in detail why it may be said that Trump raped Carroll.
