US EditionJustice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump: NPR investigation
- Last month, the Justice Department's public Epstein Files included an allegation that President Donald Trump abused a minor decades ago, yet dozens of FBI interview summaries, including three linked to the unnamed woman accuser, are missing.
- An evidence log provided to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense attorneys lists about 325 FBI interview records, but more than 90 of those serial-numbered entries do not appear on the DOJ website.
- On July 10, 2019, the accuser first called an FBI hotline and agents interviewed her about two weeks later, with the 302 interview summary documenting her account of alleged abuse around 1983–85.
- House Oversight Committee members reviewed unredacted Epstein files at a DOJ secure review facility this week, with Rep. Robert Garcia saying a survivor made serious allegations about the president, and a DOJ spokesperson stating documents may be temporarily removed for redactions and nothing was improperly withheld.
- Buried in more than 3 million pages released by the DOJ are materials prosecutors provided to Maxwell's defense team, while survivors searching the DOJ website in recent weeks found gaps and lawmakers demand full disclosure.
