WASHINGTON, Dec 20 (Reuters) - The thousands of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were filled with the names of some of the world's most famous people, including former President Bill Clinton, but there was one notable exception: President Donald Trump.
The department released only a partial tranche of the Epstein-related documents in its possession on Friday with much of the information within them redacted, citing the extensive effort required in reviewing the materials and the need to protect Epstein's victims.
Trump's administration was attempting to comply with a law overwhelmingly passed by Congress in November that mandated the disclosure of all Epstein files, despite Trump's months-long effort to keep them sealed. The extensive redactions and the limited number of documents released angered some Republicans and did little to defuse a scandal threatening the party ahead of 2026 midterm elections.
The absence of references to Trump was notable given that pictures and documents related to him have trickled out of previous Epstein releases for years. Trump's name appeared in flight manifests listing passengers on Epstein's private plane that were part of a first batch of Epstein material the Justice Department released in February, for instance.

2026 and 2028 is going to be a 2X4 to the head of the Repuke party.

from being held accountable, unless

Keep in mind it is almost a certainty that members of congress, judges, media,
etc are in the files.
ETA: These are the groups which keep the crime syndicate in power.

Not buying it ...
Not buying any of this.
Maybe those names really do belong in the Epstein files, but we know there are a lot more documents that haven't been released yet. Either they've been altered or destroyed, OR they're hiding references to Chump and he doesn't want any of it to come out.

The DoJ has and is continuing to show utter contempt for American Law and Justice pulling them down.

(28,358 posts)"Congress enacted a specific law requiring the release of all Epstein Files by a date certain within 30 days. It gave explicit instructions about what must be included: all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials.
The law made clear that redactions were to be limited to narrow categories, such as protecting Epsteins victims. It also required that any redactions must be accompanied by a written justification. The Department of Justice violated nearly every one of those provisions. It released only a fraction of the records required by the statutory deadline. Entire categories of documents appear to be missing. The redactions are a complete joke sometimes spanning pages at a time with no justification explaining each redaction."
