DOJ Reviewing if Any Epstein Files Were Withheld

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.

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.

That's hilarious!

Trump is the most important person named in the Epstein Files.

#21,

I dont agree. Trump is only the most important you people like you.

I want EVERYONE in the files.

Problem for you is, even in the files not seen, they have been looked at by people like you, and nothing was found.

You are just looking for circumstancial evidents or inference without being able to convict.

Problem is, I think there is going to be more Democrats caught up in that. That's why nothing has been leaked lately..

You're being a pouty bitch.
Trump is so important to you that you voted for him three times.
The President of the United States is always one of the most important people in the world.
Far more important than a former President, like Clinton, or a former Presidential candidate, like Clinton.

Of course you do. You actually believe Democrats were running a child sex trafficking ring out of the basement of Comet Pizza. You're that clueless.

They've dragged Hillary Clinton in to Testify behind closed doors... rofl!

Privately, of course, so they can spin her testimony however they like.

It is clear that Pedo47 ran not to expose the files and the pedophiles and rapists, but rather to hide the files and protect himself and all of the other names in the files.

Pamnesia was all too eager to make the files go away once she reviewed them just like she did for the Trump U prosecution in Florida that she killed for a meager $25K bribe.

I believe the victims that have said he raped them.

His proclivity for sexual gratification is well documented. His inflated idea that he is untouchable and above the law has been proven in court.

All he has to do is RELEASE all the files without any redactions of the perps.

Anyone who is innocent and can prove that by releasing the files would release the files.

It smells like a coverup because it is a coverup.

Just going on statistics alone for these type offenses outside of the Epstein files, it is far more likely to lean heavily GOP instead. That being said I want everyone to go down. Burn it to the ground. Right now the sitting POTUS is most important because he is in a position of power, Epstein died under his watch, he is named far more times than anyone else, and they are being incredibly secretive about his mentions. Files are missing and when they take the time to hide stuff that usually means there is something bad on it. If you want everyone to go down Boaz you should support honest investigations of everyone instead of helping shield your chosen one.

WHY would Major B suspect a 'man' who's been convicted of sexual assault, convicted of defaming the woman he assaulted, and paid off at least 25 sexual assault claims... of being someone who might sexually assault someone?

There hasn't been anything remotely close to a thorough examination of them.

And one of the reasons not everything is being found is that Trump is hiding it.

Which is the very god-damned basis of the current scandal.

Yeah, it's really hard to believe that an adjudicated rapist, with 25 additional women that have accused him of sexual assault, that bragged about storming girls' lockerrooms is a Pedo.

What a reach!

I don't see that as a problem.

As I have said many times before...

Release the Epstein files with no redactions except for the identities of the victims. I do not care who may be caught up in the release of the files, Democrat, Republican, or whoever. I just want justice to be served for the victims.
