"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor."

 

BREAKING:  The New York Times just confirmed reports that Trump's Justice Department tried to cover up reports that indicated Trump assaulted a minor in the 1980s. Wow! 

"Under the law, the Justice Department can redact material that could be used to identify Mr. Epstein’s victims, depicted violence or child sexual abuse, or would hurt a continuing federal investigation. But the law expressly prohibited federal officials from withholding or redacting materials 'on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity' to public figures."

Did Trump's DoJ break the law to protect Trump?

Do you think his cultists will give a damn? Are they so beguiled by Trump that they'll ignore this hideous report? Would they have ignored this had it been about Mr. Obama?

IMO, no! There's a stench coming from the DoJ, and it smells like a crime.

Why is the DoJ covering up these credible allegations?  Are the American people really okay with having a POTUS accused of these sorts of heinous crimes against children? 

Do you understand now why Trump put lackeys in charge of the DoJ? An innocent man would not have done so; he would have demanded all Epstein files be released to show his innocence.

Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump 

"The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mention Trump.8 

 Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor.

 NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto documents in the Epstein files database, FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR's investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be catalogued by the Justice Department but not shared publicly."

"The woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Epstein introduced her to Trump 'who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out.'

 Out of more than three million pages of files released by the Justice Department in recent months, this specific allegation against Trump only appears in copies of the FBI list of claims and the DOJ slideshow." 

AI inquiry:  "Recent investigations by NPR and The New York Times have revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) appears to have withheld or removed several files from the public Jeffrey Epstein database that contain allegations against Donald Trump. 

Specific Allegation: The files describe an unverified claim from a woman who stated she was between 13 and 15 years old when she was introduced to Trump by Epstein in the mid-1980s. She alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her and physically struck her. 

The "Missing" Records: While one 2019 FBI interview summary was released, at least three other interview memos and more than 50 pages of notes related to this woman's claims are reportedly missing from the public disclosure. 

Internal FBI Email: An internal FBI email from July 2025 noted that one identified victim "claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate". 

Congressional Investigation: House Oversight Committee Democrats, led by Rep. Robert Garcia, launched a formal inquiry in February 2026 to investigate why these documents were withheld, alleging a potential violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. 

Current Status: DOJ officials have stated that the claims are unverified and uncorroborated, and that the department has no basis for new criminal prosecutions following its review of the files. Trump has consistently denied the allegations.

**************************

The victim was interviewed by the FBI four times. 

The last time was the day before Jeffrey Epstein died

The Epstein file cover up, with the DOJ working in concert with the FBI to withhold and potentially destroy any evidence and documents that would damage Trump, is the biggest political scandal in American history. 

Read the entire report.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS QUESTIONS?

 

"STRONG WOMEN ARE THE FUTURE"

"The U.S. Women’s Olympic hockey team made history with their third Olympic gold, beating Canada's powerhouse team in overtime. 

The men’s team also won their third Olympic gold ever; but despite equal work and equal outcomes, the response was very different. 

The men got a personal visit from the FBI director and a call from the president. 

The women’s team, by contrast, was mocked by Trump and laughed at by the male athletes. 

It’s a reaction we see too often. Not just in sports, but at work too. Highly qualified, remarkable women being treated as second class citizens. 

We need to call it out every time."

Trump, again, failed at leadership. His inability to acknowledge the US women's hockey team, as he acknowledged the US men's team, for their remarkable achievement shows us what a sickening misogynist he is. 
 

 

PS:  The last time we heard "locker room talk" by Trump was when he bragged about sexually assaulting women, because he's a "star."

SNOWPOCALYPSE!

 

MOI!

We've been there and done that!  Many, many times!

CONGRESS AND TARIFFS

 

Justice Gorsuch explains:

Trump Rages Over SCOTUS Ruling.

‘I CAN DESTROY THE COUNTRY!

TRUMP GOES BALLISTIC OVER SUPREME COURT RULING

RAW STORY — President Donald Trump erupted at the Supreme Court on Friday after it ruled against his authority to impose sweeping tariffs, vowing to circumvent its decision with “alternatives” and lambasting the justices for their "ridiculous opinion,” which he claimed permitted him to "destroy" countries.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 earlier on Friday that Trump acted outside his authority when imposing his sweeping tariffs, which his administration had justified under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). As such, a significant share of Trump’s tariffs have now been declared unlawful

“The court said that I'm not allowed to charge even $1! Can't charge one dollar to any country under IEEPA!” Trump raged during an address from the White House.

“But I am allowed to cut off any and all trade or business with that same country; in other words, I can destroy the trade, I can destroy the country! I'm even allowed to impose a foreign country-destroying embargo, I can embargo! I can do anything I want, but I can't charge $1!”

Trump has staked much of his presidency on his tariff policy, warning over the past several months that a ruling against the policy could lead to a $2 trillion “catastrophe” and reduce the United States to “almost Third World status.

Now that the Supreme Court has ruled against the tariffs, Trump appears ready to circumvent the order through alternative tariffs, tariffs that he argued could generate “more money.”

“I can do anything I want to do to them, but I can't charge any money,” Trump continued. “So I'm allowed to destroy the country, but I can't charge them a little fee. How ridiculous is that?”
