... Garcia confirmed during the interview that his committee has been working with the estate to obtain more materials beyond the 23,000 pages already made public, which contained President Donald Trump's name more than 1,600 times.

Newsweek reached out to the White House via email on Monday for comment.
Why It Matters

The ongoing release of Epstein-related documents comes as Trump recently reversed his long-standing opposition to releasing investigative files, now calling on House Republicans to vote for the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

This shift represents a significant political development, occurring amid tensions with some congressional supporters and following new revelations about Epstein's connections to Trump.

The controversy has created a rare moment of bipartisan cooperation, with Representatives Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, and Ro Khanna, a California Democrat, co-sponsoring legislation that could force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all files related to Epstein, a sex offender and disgraced financier who died in 2019 in a New York City jail cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. ...

If there was anything to drip it would have been done when Biden was in office for 4 years. I mean it would have been easier than trying to bankrupt, jail and kill him.
And the Dems are already saying that if there isnt dirt on Trump it's because the files were scrubbed.

Were they scrubbed?

The FBI Redacted Trump's Name in the Epstein Files (August 2025)
www.bloomberg.com

... What happened next kicked off a new phase in the Epstein saga. As I reported in the March 28th edition of FOIA Files, Patel directed FBI special agents from the New York and Washington field offices to join the bureau's FOIA employees at its sprawling Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia and another building a few miles away.

They were instructed to search for and review every single Epstein-related document and determine what could be released. That included a mountain of material accumulated by the FBI over nearly two decades, including grand jury testimony, prosecutors' case files, as well as tens of thousands of pages of the bureau's own investigative files on Epstein. It was a herculean task that involved as many as 1,000 FBI agents and other personnel pulling all-nighters while poring through more than 100,000 documents, according to a July letter from Senator Dick Durbin to Bondi. ...

They didn't do any of that.

Biden and garlands strategy was to leave trump alone and hope he goes away. They thought that there's no way his followers would remain loyal after his treasonous coup attempt.

Their mistake was not realizing how depraved trump's cult really is.

Otherwise they could have locked him up simply for his 11 felony obstruction accounts from the mueller investigation as soon as they took office.

Pam Bondi is already intimating there won't be a full release.

Not sure if it's been pointed out here, but there is a piece in the legislation for release, which allows Pam Bondi to redact.

Good. Then this story will never die, and it will make Lewzer apoplectic.

Epstein Files Bill Allowing Bondi to Redact' Details Comes Under Scrutiny

The bill requires Bondi to release all files"including internal communications and investigative materials"related to Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days of the law being enacted.

However, the bill does allow Bondi to redact records in specific instances, including documents that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution."

Awww... Trump'll get a Christmas present from Blondi.

Here's basically what the nefarious Trumpf junta is going to release at Christmas time:


How many FBI personnel will be diverted from other national security missions in order to scrub the files clean of Trumpf's name, elitists, and probable connections to Israeli officials (AKA the Mossad)?
