DOJ allegedly withholds Epstein files on Trump

Описание: A new NPR investigation found that the Justice Department withheld portions of the Jeffrey Epstein files that contain allegations involving President Donald Trump.

Material tied to claims that Trump sexually abused a minor and some pages mentioning him were removed from the public record, the investigation revealed.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee responded that the Justice Department's withholding of information could amount to a crime.

In response, the White House told NPR that Trump has "been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein."

For more on the investigation and fallout, Geoff Bennett spoke with Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for The Miami Herald whose reporting helped expose much of the Epstein network.
