NPR identified more than a dozen Epstein files released by the DOJ on Friday that are no longer available Saturday afternoon, including one that shows President Trump's photo.
Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.
