Internal directives instructed about 1,000 FBI agents to flag any mention of Trump during a March review of roughly 100,000 pages of records, people familiar with the process told Bloomberg.

The Justice Department said the review turned up no "client list" or evidence linking Trump to criminal activity, despite his name appearing in Epstein's contact book and flight logs.

I understand the lowlifes Trump hires can carry out his orders without either blinking g or blushing. My question is, can they think? Saying you're going to release these EpsteinEpsteinEpstein files and blow the lid off of ... oh, whatever ... and then having your flunkies supervise the scrubbing of those files is a terrible look. Especially when so many of your marks wear tinfoil chapeaux as a "precaution" because they've "done their own research."

Is there anything preventing Trump from telling the FBI to unredact his name?
