Donald Trump’s Justice Department quietly deletes solely photograph of him from Epstein information dump
The photo was included in the disclosure which went live on Friday evening, but had been removed from both the website links and downloadable zip file at some point on Saturday
Donald Trump’s Justice department quietly deleted a single photo from their latest Epstein files dump – the only one that includes the image of the President.
The Justice Department released a heavily redacted cache of evidence collected during their investigation into America’s most notorious paedophile.
The files released last night mainly consist of photos of Epstein’s home in New York and his private island Little St James, taken when they were raided by law enforcement.
It also includes some – but by no means all – of the private photos Epstein kept in his collection, some of them lurid, others featuring high-profile figures and celebrities.
Inclusion in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing or knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.
Many photos were apparently taken during a tour of Asia Epstein took with Bill Clinton, and include photos of the former President relaxing in a swimming pool.
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Mick Jagger, Peter Mandelson and Sir Richard Branson are among the other well-known figures who appear in the collection.
But the current President only appeared in just one photo in last night’s release.
The photo is of a sideboard covered with framed photos in Epstein’s New York lair – with the drawer open to reveal even more photos. Two of the photos in the drawer appear to show Trump. One – of the President, his wife Melania and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s fixer and sometime girlfriend who is in prison for sex trafficking – has been widely circulated. The other small photo has not – and appears to show a younger Donald Trump partying with four glamorous women, two of whom are dressed in bikinis. Earlier this month a separate previously unseen image of Trump partying with young women was released in a cache of documents handed to the House Judiciary Committee by the Epstein estate. The photo was included in the disclosure which went live on Friday evening, but had been removed from both the website links and downloadable zip file at some point on Saturday.
Last night, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the disclosures were evidence that the Trump administration was “the most transparent…in American history.”
