Congress Demands Probe as 16 Files Allegedly Disappear from DOJ Epstein Release
At least 16 Epstein files, including a photo with President Trump, vanished from the DOJ website within a day, prompting bipartisan congressional calls for transparency.
- By Saturday, at least 16 files vanished from the DOJ's public Epstein library less than a day after posting, including a photo labeled EFTA00000468 showing President Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, Melania Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- On Friday, the DOJ posted documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that President Donald Trump signed last month, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said more files would be released in the coming weeks.
- The DOJ's numerically organized Epstein library shows a skipped entry, with EFTA00000468 removed and the labeled photo unavailable by Saturday morning.
- Lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee flagged the missing Trump image and demanded answers from the DOJ, while Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., explored impeachment or contempt proceedings and the Department of Justice spokesperson did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
- Survivors and their lawyers blasted the incomplete release and demanded accountability, noting many of the 13,000 documents were heavily redacted, with Gloria Allred and Spencer Kuvin calling for full transparency.
