... 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)?

"Reporters Just EXPOSED Pam Bondi's Epstein Coverup TO HER FACE"

www.youtube.com

last few mins of video where reporters note that Blondi said there was NO INVESTIGATION but suddenly NOW there IS an Investigation... so she can't talk about or release the Files Trump will will sign off on being released.

SO the obvious and predictable SCAM is here.

Trumpers SO proud!

Larry Summers, Plaskett, Trump, Clinton, names and names.

Will the British Royal's name appear?

Emails isn't enough.

Blur the faces of the females and provide the faces of the creeps. The tapes would nail this coffin for many.

The DC Madam is still sealed and names Covered up.

A federal judge issued a court order in 2007, later upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, which keeps the phone records under wraps. The order was intended to protect the privacy of potential witnesses and clients, and its status has not changed in the years since.

18 years later and still protecting the criminals.

Just saw the two sponsors of the Epstein File Bill saying that no matter that Blondi today is lying about 'new information' she apparently just received that would keep some information from an investigation being released that, two things:

Any such delay is TEMPORARY ONLY per the Bill... and the Bill itself makes it a Federal Crime for anyone at the DOJ to for any reason Not Release the Files.

...
I'd rather crawl through poison ivy
or grab high tensions wires
cut my legs off at the knees
or set myself on fire

Than have to feel your charms
closing in around me
or feel your slimy kisses covering my body

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste

I'd rather stick my tongue into a vat
drink ex-lax all day long
or have to chew on razor blades
or give head to king kong

Than have to be between the sheets with you for any time
or have to feel your scaly flesh moving onto mine

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste

Bridge

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is lala like

Your love is like a nuclear waste
your body is a danger to the human race
they should stamp contaminated right across your face
your love is like a nuclear waste

Yeah, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.

Door Dash girl gets arrested.
She claimed SA.
Her whole story proves that claiming a crime happened isn't enough.
Now she's arrested and should she face jail time equal to the accusations?

This is just one reason that the evidence must be fully reviewed before believing a crime was committed.

These emails aren't proof without the collaborating evidence to support.

The names isn't enough.

Nobody want unredacted videos. Blur the victims,but show the perps' faces.

As for the victims, if they took money and signed NDA's, why?
