US EditionJustice Department restores photo containing image of Trump to Epstein files website
The Justice Department restored the Trump photo after confirming no Epstein victims appear in it, amid a release of over 3,500 files related to Epstein's case.
- Following a review, the U.S. Department of Justice restored a photograph to its online Epstein files website after it was temporarily removed Saturday, with no evidence victims are depicted.
- Out of an abundance of caution DOJ temporarily removed the photo to assess needed redactions after it disappeared Saturday following its Friday release.
- A desk-drawer photograph published in the files shows framed and unframed photos including Trump and Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, with one photo showing Trump with a group of women and another with Melania Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- Democrats on the House Oversight Committee flagged the missing image and pressed for answers, while Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said `It has nothing to do with President Trump` and explained the photo was removed due to victims' rights concerns.
- The law required release by Friday, yet DOJ said it will continue publishing records on a rolling basis despite omitting FBI interviews and internal Justice Department memos, while Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche noted prosecutors possess more than 3.6 million related records.

This Trump-Epstein Photo Wasn’t Fishy — Until DOJ Deleted It
This Trump-Epstein photo wasn’t fishy — until the DOJ deleted it. The Justice Department deleted File 468 with no explanation, then replaced it. Yet again, DOJ bungling is making Trump’s Epstein files appearances look even worse.
The U.S. Department of Justice was forced during the weekend to re-post an image of Jeffrey Epstein’s archives showing photographs of President Donald Trump, after his withdrawal from the official website provoked a strong political reaction.
