Highly disturbing Epstein files alleging Donald Trump sexually assaulted a 13yo get deleted. But the damage was done

The latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein–related material has been released by the Department of Justice — and it is perhaps the most disturbing since the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law on Nov. 19. This latest release of roughly 3.5 million pages features allegations against Donald Trump, accusing him of forcing a minor into sexual acts, along with numerous other disturbing claims. But then, the material was deleted without explanation.

Several accounts on X had already taken screenshots and reposted the files independently of the DOJ. Eventually, the DOJ conceded that the files had been deleted and later restored them, claiming it was “an administrative error.” The material chronicles tip-line information tying Trump, Bill Clinton, and Elon Musk to the criminal activities of Epstein’s inner circle in the late 1990s leading up to the turn of the century.
