In what can only be described as the least surprising plot twist since Donald Trump spent all summer insisting the Epstein files were a ‘Democrat hoax’ he definitely didn’t need to hide from, the Department of Justice quietly scrubbed at least 16 files from its Friday document dump — including, wouldn’t you know it, photographs featuring the president himself.
The DOJ finally released a whole batch of the previously classified Epstein files on Friday, but lawmakers and the public were surprised to find that most of the material, which itself constitutes only a fraction of the actual evidence retained by the FBI, was redacted and censored. Literally hundreds of pages have been blacked out, with some portions reading like the DOJ just copy pasted a bunch of black rectangle pages to make the dumb look more substantial than it actually is.
