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.

    Speaking of coverups, the Franklin Scandal from 88 sure feels familiar (thumbnail is clickbait to appease the algorithm) coverup starts with a plane crash about halfway through and the bodies keep dropping until around 92: https://youtu.be/a2lvo38u4ds

    Early reports on Epstein’s trafficing start in 94

      That was a wild, disturbing ride. Let me down a rabbit hole to John David Norman and his child abuse network. Prosecutors decided to settle for Norman instead of pursuing his client list, which included some high-profile individuals. Also connected to at least two serial killers.

      For some reason that made me think of Jeff Gannon. Did he claim he was a victim of abuse as a child?
