1:36Now PlayingA new NPR investigation found that the Justice Department withheld portions of the Jeffrey Epstein files that contain allegations involving President Donald Trump.
Material tied to claims that Trump sexually abused a minor and some pages mentioning him were removed from the public record, the investigation revealed.
