... "Officials with the Department of Justice have informed us that the Department will begin to provide Epstein-related records to the Oversight Committee this week on Friday. There are many records in DOJ's custody, and it will take the Department time to produce all the records and ensure the identification of victims and any child sexual abuse material are redacted," Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement.

"I appreciate the Trump Administration's commitment to transparency and efforts to provide the American people with information about this matter."

The plans spurred pushback from the panel's Democrats, who said the DOJ was failing to fully comply by not meeting the original deadline and supplying all documents. ...

I just wonder if there will be more words than marked out words... words like, "Donald" and "Trump"?

Also, will it highlight that Trump's Best Friend and Mega Wingman is estimated to have had at least 1,000 trysts with underage girls...

... brought to him by the woman that Trump, "wished the best" to, and moved to Club Fed after she spent hours with his personal lawyer and DOJ lawyer, who are the same guy.

Trump's name has reportedly already been scrubbed of the damn thing.

Alexandrite,

Where have you seen that? It's a believable classic m but I do sometimes like to independently verify these things. I'm not asking for a link, a reference will suffice.

FBI Redacts Donald Trump's Name from Jeffrey Epstein Files
According to three individuals familiar with the process who spoke to Bloomberg's Jason Leopold, internal instructions were given to around 1,000 FBI agents this past March to specifically flag any mention of Trump across more than 100,000 pages of Epstein-related records. Yet, when the documents were reviewed and prepped for public release, references to Trump were reportedly redacted by Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) officer as reported by newsweek.

And that's right wing newsweek.

Nothing released by Lewzer is remotely viable. He just wants good news, so he will only allow good news.

Bondi said she had Epstein's "client list" on her desk.
She was reviewing the Epstein files, ready to go.
That was TWENTY-SIX WEEKS AGO.
In the meantime, she told Trump his name is in those files.
Since then ...

I doubt the veracity of that report.

If you can't give me two reasons to doubt it, then you're just promoting propaganda.

Pro tip:

No one here cares even a tiny bit what a foreign agitator like you, taking advantage of our open society to attempt to spread agitprop in order to create chaos and division in that same society, "doubts".

But do carry on.

Of course, you do.

Meanwhile, you accept the veracity of everything that comes out of the Trump administration without pause or critical thought.
