The Trump loyal DOJ have removed at least 16 files, including images of Donald Trump, from the Epstein Files web page after initially releasing them.

There has been no explanation from the government and no notice to the public in regards to why the files were removed. #OpDeathEaters

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

What’s in Epstein files so far? Celebrities, Clinton, few Trump mentions
The Justice Department’s first release of Epstein files is heavy on photos of Bill Clinton, light on mentions of President Donald Trump and mostly lacking revelations.
