YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Justice Department has re-posted one of the photographs it had previously removed from its publicly accessible Epstein files involving the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The photograph in question showed President Trump.
NPR reported on Saturday that more than a dozen files released by the Justice Department a day earlier had been taken down from the department's Epstein files website. Among them was an image that showed a desk covered with photos, including at least one of President Trump.
On Sunday morning, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the images were pulled down because a judge had told them to listen to concerns from victims and victim rights groups. Later, the Justice Department posted on X that it had reviewed the photo of the desk, and found no evidence that any Epstein victims were depicted.
