The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.

Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR’s investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly.

    Yeah, I really can’t overemphasize how much of a petty insecure asshole the character who said it was, but the delivery of it is hilarious

    Also, as someone who’s watched it, I have some mixed feelings about some of the narrative choices and implied messages in that show, but it really is a master course on dissecting the hypocritical and superficial psychology of mobsters, which I feel like this administration and all of its goons demonstrate constantly

      I will be watching it like I watch classic cinema. The formula has since been refined but it was the first of its kind so it has some freshman fumbles.

      Mobsters indeed. I wonder, if the Mexican army swooped in and killed the head of the MAGA cartel, would we see the kind of violence in our streets as Mexico is having now? I mean, they’re certainly well-armed enough but they are also lazy Americans. They’d be like, “can I go down to Home Depot and hire some Mexicans to do it for me?”

      (Which tbf is pretty much what I’m doing now with this speculation)
