Double checked and they definitely have removed image 468, and it was definitely this one – but that photo of Trump and Melania with Ghislaine and Epstein is a well known one.

My guess would be that another photo in the image contains a victim who should’ve been redacted.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.

Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.

Now, it’s gone.

Donald Trump: “I took cognitive tests. By the way, not easy. The first question is like what is this and they show a lion, giraffe, fish and a hippopotamus. And they say which is the giraffe.”

This is an actual quote.

He’s bragging about being able to differentiate between animals.

Bury me now…

People who don't understand manufacturing processes very well are constantly sending requests for quote on their own Groverhaus. That's the industry I work in.

Nenko Gantchev should still be alive—home with his family. After 30 years contributing to Chicagoland as a small business owner and taxpayer, ICE detained him, ignored his medical needs, and he died in custody. This system is cruel, reckless, and must be held accountable.

I have a list, and all the "here to stay" arguments fall to it:

Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.
