Justice 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.
