NEW YORK (AP) — At least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein — including a photograph showing President Donald Trump — less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government and no notice to the public.

The missing files, which were available Friday and no longer accessible by Saturday, included images of paintings depicting nude women, and one showing a series of photographs along a credenza and in drawers. In that image, inside a drawer among other photos, was a photograph of Trump, alongside Epstein, Melania Trump and Epstein’s longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Justice Department did not say why the files were removed or whether their disappearance was intentional. A spokesperson for the department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Online, the unexplained missing files fueled speculation about what was taken down and why the public was not notified, compounding long-standing intrigue about Epstein and the powerful figures who surrounded him. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee pointed to the missing image featuring a Trump photo in a post on X, writing: “What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.”

Of course they were.

1. Gee.. I wonder why?

[AZLD4Candidate]

2. Americans, for the most part, can deal with scandals. Cover ups are usually a bridge too far.

[lapfog_1]

3. did anyone bother to make a copy of all the data while it was up?

[yourout]

5. I would think so. This was pretty much expected

I'm sure somebody was offloading as fast as possible knowing they would quickly delete anything that they missed and was caught by the public.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. I expect most of the M$M did so they could comb through it.

That's how they knew there were suddenly "missing" files.

[ToxMarz]

17. Of course they have seen it so they would have had to download it. Otherwise how would they know they are now missing

Everyone of the news orgs reporting the are missing MUST include copies of (or links to) what is missing in EVERY article. Underscore exactly what they are trying to hide.

4. What a surprise!

6. *pretends to be surprised*

7. K&R

8. Fortunately, justice is not blind

and they know how to count too.

Make your time, Trump.

10. Has anyone else seen the photo of the Amazon receipt credited to JE?

The book titles are telling.

11. This is another small tip of the iceberg.

There's tons of damaging stuff Gropenfuhrer is trying to keep hidden.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. The irony is that their "trickling it out" like this

is only going to make it worse for them because the drip drip drip just extends the news cycle for this story.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they are deploying their vaunted but not-ready-for-primetime "AI" to sort through to find what 45 stuff to redact and/or remove, the electronically hallucinatory entity that AI tends to be, will miss some things!

[Joinfortmill]

16. Gropenfuhrer. Lol.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. of course .

[AZJonnie]

13. Personally I think it's ridiculous that Trump would hide photos of him and Epstein at this point

Given that there's already about 100 of them that have made their way around the internet going back many years, why bother taking some down from the release site? We ALL know they were friends for years, and we've all seen proof of this in pictures.

Apparently there's going to be this kind of bullshit, where most people are focused on the titillating details of what new stuff came out & what didn't & what later was taken down, etc, that lasts for WEEKS. I am suspicious that this move of pulling pics is part of a larger distraction, while behind the scenes, the regime plans to take full advantage of the press and public attention on The Files so do some of their very nastiest, most damaging work against our Nation on behalf of his billionaire buddies, and Putin

So I'm going to be watching for news of what Trump is up to DURING these upcoming days of Epstein releases, while the public are focused on relatively minor things like "there was a {piece of evidence} posted, and now its not anymore", when the evidence did not contribute anything about Trump's guilt level that was not known long ago

[Pinback]

15. "speculation" ... "intrigue" ...

Gosh, it’s a real head-scratcher all right!

[Sneederbunk]

18. Is the Epstein Estate willing to release more material?

[Fil1957]

19. Not to worry. Norm Eisen (and probably others) downloaded them before they were deleted. The people working for this

administration are really stupid.

[johnnyfins]

20. They cant even get their coverup straight!!!

Bwahaahahahahahaha.

FAIL. Their incompetence is stunning. Flood Pam Bondi's inbox with John Mitchell's mugshot. Hahahahaha.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Was "Big Balls" doing maintenance on their system?

[Martin68]

22. We have commenced a battle to preserve the evidence and prosecute the guilty against those who want to destroy the

evidence and protect the pedophiles. I believe the truth will become known, largely because MAGAts, encouraged by Trump, thought the evidence would implicate democrats. They all fell for the Qanon bullshit hook. line and sinker, and it will end up sinking Trump. The irony is delicious, as is their bottomless stupidity.
