Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, February 26, 2026

After multiple news agencies published stories which indicated that possibly three interviews with a victim that had accused the President of uncorroborated misdeeds were not included in the released Epstein files, the Associated Press is reporting that the DOJ is investigating if and why the files were not released as required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

"We are witnessing a White House cover-up of serious allegations against the president by a survivor," Garcia said in a statement to NPR.

"We demand Attorney General Pam Bondi come clean about why these documents are being hidden, comply with our legally binding subpoena by sharing all records, and tell the American people if their president is under investigation for allegations of sexual assault."

..

"NPR's previous reporting found internal FBI and Justice Department outline documents related to allegations from a woman who, according to documents within the database, claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

Records released last month show the FBI interviewed the woman four times, but only one of those interviews has been published in the Justice Department's public Epstein files database."

Those files aren't missing.
They're just covered up.

I can explain the missing Epstein Files----

They are a smoking gun directly connecting Trump to the rape and aggravated assault of a child.

And they're going to be that even after the Clintons are interviewed.

They need to release the files.

ALL of them AND release all redactions of all victims as well. If you are asking us to convict someone on your word and no evidence, we need to know who you are.

We should find out who ordered the files taken out in violation of the law.

No, we will be asking a jury to do that, provided Baron Harkonnen (aka Donald Trump) lives long enough.

There is a lot of joking about people pissing on Trump's grave.

We both know it's not a joke. Millions of people will do exactly that. Tons of ammonia will be vented on Donald's final resting place.

The site will smell of piss and be an olfactory metaphor for his sorry life.

Nothing builds trust like corrupt agencies investigating themselves.

DoJ is investigating whether DoJ illegally withheld documents to cover for the Orange Chomo.

Yeah, that's gonna be a trustworthy "investigation."

Pamnesia talking to herself in the mirror...

"Did you mistakenly withhold any documents?"

"Nope"

"Okay, well then that's settled."

As has has been stated elsewhere----

This is the greatest presidential scandal in American history---

To only be surpassed by what will be found out about Trump once the full Epstein Horror is revealed.

Donald Trump will be remembered like Elizabeth Bathory and the Marquis de Sade---

Who are his peers.

After a brief period of time the Justice Department will release a report summary that says there is no evidence that any files were mistakenly withheld, therefore case closed. What they will not say is that all files implicating Trump and friends were intentionally withheld, no "mistakenly" about it.

I am so glad that my father did not live to see the GOP become the party that protects pedophiles, child molesters, and rapists.

Unfortunately the DoJ can no longer be trusted. They've been caught lying in court, fabricating evidence and bringing baseless prosecutions that they can't even secure an indictment on.

In related news, the fox reports all the hens are safe and accounted for.
