DOJ admits removing 47,635 Epstein files from database, including Trump-related FBI records

The Justice Department acknowledged removing 47,635 files from its public Epstein database, including FBI interview records related to sexual abuse allegations against Donald Trump. NPR and CNN investigations revealed that at least one file was pulled after initial publication, and that dozens of FBI records appeared entirely missing, including interviews with Trump accusers. The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to subpoena Attorney General Bondi the same day. DOJ said the files were under review and would be restored, which occurred following a sixth release on March 5.
