The Department of Justice quietly took 47,635 Epstein-related files offline. When journalists noticed, the DOJ called it a "review." When they looked closer, they found the removed files included documents specifically related to allegations against Donald Trump.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the 47,635 figure. NBC News revealed that the removed files included documents related to a woman who made allegations against Trump. PBS's NewsHour ran an investigation confirming the DOJ withheld Epstein files mentioning the president.
This is not the first time Epstein files have been selectively handled. The original prosecution deal in 2008 was sealed. The full client list has never been released. And now, tens of thousands of files were quietly taken offline.
After media pressure, some files were re-released. But the question remains: what was in the files that required them to disappear in the first place?
