Trump officials to release only some Epstein files as midnight deadline looms

The US justice department says it will begin releasing long-awaited files related to Jeffrey Epstein as mandated by a new law, though not all documents would be made public on Friday.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department expects to publish "several hundred thousand pages" initially, followed by more over the coming weeks.

The Friday deadline was mandated by a bill that got near-unanimous support in Congress, and was later signed into law by President Donald Trump, after he reversed his earlier opposition to its release.

The files relate to investigations into the disgraced late sex offender, but it's likely that much of the content will be heavily redacted.

1. Even after months of time, they haven't finished erasing Trump's name.

Perhaps that’s because he was an active participant in Epstein’s crime circle and his name appears everywhere.

6. Does that mean people

7. And the cover up continues.

The system of impoverishing the poor in order to keep enriching the rich must go on.
