Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. His DOJ released three million pages.

And then, as NPR documented, it surgically withheld over 50 pages of FBI interviews.

With who?

With a woman who told agents that around 1983, when she was 13, Epstein introduced her to Trump. And that Trump forced her head down to his exposed penis, and when she bit down, he punched her in the head and threw her out.

The FBI interviewed this woman four times. Only the first interview made the public database, which means the one that doesn’t mention Trump.

A second woman similarly described being taken to Mar-a-Lago as a 13-year-old Epstein victim, where Epstein told Trump, “This is a good one, huh.”

That interview was published January 30, quietly pulled from the database, then restored February 19 after journalists noticed the gambit.

Rep. Robert Garcia has reviewed unredacted evidence logs at the DOJ and confirmed the files were illegally withheld.

Confirmed files. Illegally withheld.

The DOJ’s response has been to launch deranged lunatic rants like North Korea, claiming any criticism of Trump is “radical.” This is what institutional capture looks like in practice: you pass a transparency law, release a mountain of paper, and bury the pages that matter, to attack anyone who counts the serial numbers as the threat or conspiracy theorist.

Trump told reporters last week the files “totally exonerated” him. The files do the opposite, which is exactly why his stuffed crony DOJ doesn’t want anyone to hear the testimony about 13-year old girls.
