The Department of Justice was forced into a U-turn on its release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein after a photo of President Donald Trump was temporarily removed from the files.
The missing photo depicted Trump alongside his wife Melania, Epstein, and the pedophile’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
It was taken in February 2000 at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and was one of the few photos in which the president appeared in the documents as federal agents raided Epstein’s New York City townhouse.
Another photo from one of Epstein’s open desk drawer showed him posing with four women in swimwear.
The photograph of both images are now once again included in the files, the Department of Justice announced Sunday, following accusations of a cover-up.
‘The Southern District of New York flagged an image of President Trump for potential further action to protect victims,’ the department explained on social media.
‘Out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Justice temporarily removed the image for further review.
‘After the review, it was determined there is no evidence that any Epstein victims are depicted in the photograph, and it has been reposted without any alteration or redaction.’
Still, Representatives Ro Khanna, a Democrat from California, and Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, announced Sunday that they are speaking with their fellow members of Congress about holding Attorney General Pam Bondi in contempt.
They claimed that is the best way to hold the Justice Department accountable for its failure to release all eligible files related to Epstein’s crimes by Friday’s deadline.
