The U.S. Department of Justice has quietly restored an Epstein-related document that had been deleted from its public release—one that referenced Donald Trump—after outside scrutiny made the omission impossible to ignore. The initial disappearance of...

What's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday we were talking a bit about the DOJ and how they deleted some files that they had posted previously when it comes to the Epstein file dump. And the picture that was really causing an uproar was one of Donald Trump with three women. Now, the Justice Department said it deleted that photo and scrubbed it because they wanted to make sure that the survivors were being protected. And there's no doubt that on its face, that sounds like a very legitimate reason to scrub some documents. Right? I'm certainly not going to sit here and say that survivors should be outed ever. But is that really what went on here? Or were they just trying to protect Donald Trump from a little bit more embarrassment? That certainly seems to be more plausible to me than them trying to protect the survivors. How long have they had to go through these documents? How long have they been on Pam Bondi's desk? How many truckloads have they had? You mean to tell me that the FBI, along with the intelligence services, let's not forget about them, can't make their way through these documents through these folders that have been in their possession for decades? Like, not for nothing, but are you sniffing glue? If you believe that nonsense, you have to be high. There's no other explanation. The whole point was to slow walk this forever. That's what they wanted to do. But unfortunately for them, that discharge petition kicked into effect and now they have to abide by the law. And God forbid the doj, the arbiters of law, actually have to follow it. And God forbid that any of us ask for accountability. How dare you. You're a traitor. Today's article is from Fox News, and the headline, DOJ Restores Trump photo to Epstein Files after determining no victims were depicted. This article was authored by Sophia Compton. The U.S. department of justice said Sunday it restored a photo featuring President Donald Trump to its latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein related documents after a review determined the image did not depict any Epstein victim. Don't they understand that they already have an optics problem? So when you go into the tranche of documents that's already been uploaded and you start deleting things and you start scrubbing things, people are going to have questions. And the people asking those questions aren't the assholes. You're the asshole. You should have done your job correctly. You had a month more than that. Should have brought in anybody you needed to bring in, and you should have done the right thing. And furthermore, here's an idea. You wouldn't need all those people. If you didn't redact the files to. How about you give the American public what the law requires? That would be a novel idea, huh? In a post on X, the DOJ said the photo was initially taken down out of an abundance of caution after the SDNY flagged it for additional review to protect potential victims. You mean Jay Clayton? Donald Trump's buddy? The lawyer from Apollo Global, which was founded and run by Leon Black? That same sdny. That's who you want me to trust, huh? Zero chance. I mean, did you just witness the show against Diddy? How do you lose that case? You had all that evidence, you had all those witnesses, you had all that time, and you still find a way to lose that case, and all of a sudden we should have a bunch of confidence in. In this sdny, huh? Sorry, I don't. In fact, I've never had confidence in the sdny. There is way too much politics in that office and way too little law enforcement. Following the review, officials concluded no Epstein victims were shown in the photograph, and it was reposted without alteration or redaction, according to the doj. Here's the problem. Nobody believes you. Nobody trusts you. So if you're redacting things and scrubbing things that have already been posted, already been uploaded, nobody's gonna buy your reasoning for it. Now, maybe some of the people that believe everything you say, of course they're gonna buy it. But the vast majority of Americans are tired of the. I mean, how much nonsense are you going to ask the American people to suck down? Every time we turn around, they're bullshitting us about something. No answers about anything. And it looks like every single big case that this DOJ is bringing falls apart. Look at what's going on with Comey. Look what's going on with Leticia James. I thought they were going to arrest Fauci. What happened to that? That never came to fruition. Huh. What do you know? I guess we're still waiting for that storm they always talk about. The Southern District of New York flagged an image of President Trump for potential further action to protect victims. The DOJ wrote out of an abundance of caution, the Department of Justice temporarily removed the image for further review. After the review, it was determined that there is no evidence that any Epstein victim are depicted in the photograph and that it has been reposted without any alteration or redaction. The horse has already left the barn. Are you crazy? Do you really think people are going to believe that? Especially with the history here? I mean, just recently we had the video that you said was unalterated that ended up being alterated and missing minutes and missing parts of it. But don't worry folks here. The record is certainly complete and the DOJ is on top of things. Just ask them. Earlier Sunday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch said the removal of the photo had nothing to do with President Trump and was instead driven by concerns for the women depicted. He he said during an appearance on NBC's Meet the Press. You know what? I'll just say it. Todd Blanche, he doesn't care about the victims. He doesn't care one bit about Epstein survivors. He's talking more to Maxwell than he has to Epstein survivors. Chew on that for a minute. How come Glenn Maxwell is getting such great treatment? How come she was moved? How come Todd Blanche refuses to answer any questions? One thing of note is that he said that Ghisne Maxwell being moved was his decision. So let's make sure we hold him to that. You know, when this investigation really kicks off and we dive into the COVID up, which is eventually going to happen, let's make sure that Todd Blanch is on the block because he definitely has some answering to do. And I promise you, whoever the interrogator is asking him questions is not going to be lobbing softballs. The explanation came after reports that at least 16 files had disappeared from the DOJ's Epstein related public web page less than a day after they were posted on Friday without public notice or initial explanation, the Associated Press reported. And they just continue to fumble the bag. Like, how can you be so bad at your job? It's unbelievable to me. In the corporate world, if you are as bad at your job as Todd Blanch is at his, you're fired right away. But in the doj, who cares if you're giving a human trafficker preferential treatment? Who cares if you're moving a child abuser to a facility that she shouldn't be at? No big deal. Nothing to see here. I mean, I know that Ghislaine Maxwell is getting preferential treatment, but did you hear about the auto pen? The missing files included one that showed a series of photos displayed on a cabinet. And inside a drawer, in the drawer there was a photo of Donald Trump, pictured alongside Melania Trump, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the AP reported. And as far as Melania goes, I'm really curious to see how the lawsuit against Michael Wolf ends up. Like, are we really going to get discovery here? And if so, it's going to be pretty explosive. So I'm Very interested to see which way it goes. And I think that the closer we get to discovery, the more Jeopardy. Trump and Melania are in. Do you really think they want to sit down for a deposition that has to do with Jeffrey Epstein? I highly doubt that. On Saturday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee criticized the removal of the photo, writing, we need transparency for the American public. Look, I don't think that's even a debate. The only people that don't want transparency at this point are the people that fear something. Everybody else, the vast majority of the American public is like, let the chips fall and whoever ends up getting caught up gets caught up. And I think a lot of Americans are starting to understand that these politicians aren't people to look up to. They're not people to aspire to be. A lot of them are grifters and thieves and con men and con women and snake oil salesmen. What have they ever done to make your life better? Now, look, I'm not saying all of them because I don't deal in absolutes, but I will tell you this. It takes a special kind of deranged maniac to want to be in politics these days. This photo, file 468 from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump, has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee posted on X Attorney General Pam Bondi, is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American people. The DOJ released the Trova files after the Epstein File Transparency act, signed by President Trump on November 19, 2025, required AG Pam Bondi to release all unclassified records, communications and investigative materials related to Epstein within 30 days, which they obviously didn't do. They can't even release the files correctly, but we trust them to do everything else that needs to be done. And at the doj, you guys had plenty of time to get your together. And the only reason that you don't have your together is because you chose not to. The whole idea was to slow walk it. They knew that there was no teeth in the legislation and they knew nobody would face any kind of consequence for bullshitting around. So what do you think they're going to do? They're going to around. So I think at this point, the obvious move is to drop the hammer on everybody and bring in a special counsel. Because I certainly don't trust the DOJ to do the right thing. I don't trust the inspector general. I certainly don't trust the administration and Congress. Forget it. You know, I don't trust them. And it's not like they can do anything anyway. So the only option at this point, in my opinion, is to break out a special counsel. And let's really get this rolling. Let's see what's what. And I don't mean some special counsel either. I mean a special counsel with not only subpoena power, but the power to charge. I'm talking the full Monty. Because for me, anything short of that at this point is not going to be good enough. And how can it be? How can it be when the DOJ is not trustworthy, when they've done nothing to garner the American people's trust and everything to burn it? And let's be real, okay? They would have never, ever went back and put this photo back into the files if there wasn't an uproar. And I think that's very important to take note of. We have to keep them on their toes, right? We have to keep going through the files. We have to dig into it. And if they delete things or if they're not forthcoming, they need to be called out. I know a lot of these morons wish they lived in El Salvador so they could just round everybody up and put them in prison. But that's not how things work here in America. And I think it's long beyond time that these people are reminded of that. All of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
