Trump’s DOJ was required by law to release all unclassified Epstein files.
They released about 10%, leaving roughly 300 GB hidden.
One document was 119 pages of solid black.

Most first-time homebuyers today are around 40. Under Trump’s new 50-year mortgage plan, they’ll never own their homes. With life expectancy at 79, they’ll die still in debt.
