NEW YORK (AP) — At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing President Donald Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.
The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Justice Department did not say why the files were removed or whether their disappearance was intentional. A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Online, the unexplained missing files fueled speculation about what was taken down and why the public was not notified, compounding long-standing intrigue about Epstein and the powerful figures who surrounded him. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee pointed to the missing image featuring a Trump photo in a post on X, writing: “What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.”

Of course they were.

There's tons of damaging stuff Gropenfuhrer is trying to keep hidden. 
is only going to make it worse for them because the drip drip drip just extends the news cycle for this story.
And I wouldn't be surprised if they are deploying their vaunted but not-ready-for-primetime "AI" to sort through to find what 45 stuff to redact and/or remove, the electronically hallucinatory entity that AI tends to be, will miss some things! 
Given that there's already about 100 of them that have made their way around the internet going back many years, why bother taking some down from the release site? We ALL know they were friends for years, and we've all seen proof of this in pictures.
Apparently there's going to be this kind of bullshit, where most people are focused on the titillating details of what new stuff came out & what didn't & what later was taken down, etc, that lasts for WEEKS. I am suspicious that this move of pulling pics is part of a larger distraction, while behind the scenes, the regime plans to take full advantage of the press and public attention on The Files so do some of their very nastiest, most damaging work against our Nation on behalf of his billionaire buddies, and Putin
So I'm going to be watching for news of what Trump is up to DURING these upcoming days of Epstein releases, while the public are focused on relatively minor things like "there was a {piece of evidence} posted, and now its not anymore", when the evidence did not contribute anything about Trump's guilt level that was not known long ago 
Gosh, it’s a real head-scratcher all right!
I expect they ran the whole job through "AI" and now have to go back to "fix" the hallucinations and remove the "non-biased" results.
