At least 16 files released in the batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents by the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) appear to have been removed from the website, as of today. Private News Channel reported that one of the files removed included a photograph of US President Donald Trump.

 

Among other files that appear to have been removed, the majority depicted explicit artwork, showed mail slots filled with envelopes, a tiled hallway, and a notebook page with names and apartment numbers. 

 

Earlier, the Department of Justice clarified that the recently released Jeffrey Epstein-related documents are being redacted solely to protect victims, and no politicians’ names are being withheld. The release follows federal judges’ approval to unseal grand jury materials in cases against Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, allowing the DOJ to publish the highly anticipated records.

 

US President Donald Trump’s name is rarely mentioned in the batch of Epstein files, based on a preliminary New York Times scan of thousands of documents and hundreds of photographs.
