BRENNAN: What are you going to do to force DOJ to comply?
MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
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.

This is one of the pictures the Justice Department removed from the Epstein files release:
A picture of a table with framed photos of Epstein and famous people. There are two photos of Trump in the picture — including one of him surrounded by women in bathing suits.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

🚨 Epstein Files: In his letter to Congress, Todd Blanche says docs were withheld under the deliberative process, atty-client privilege & atty work product. In #FOIA that's the equivalent of a B5 exemption.
🧵
🧵
![In addition to the bases for withholding or redacting under the Act, the Department has withheld and redacted a limited amount of information otherwise covered by various privileges, including deliberative-process privilege, work-product privilege, and attorney-client privilege, These privileges are based in common law---not statutes---and Congress is fully aware of them. See Fed. R. Evid. 501; Trammel v. United States, 445 U.S. 40, 47 (1980) ("In... enacting Rule 501, Congress manifested an affirmative intention not to freeze the law of privilege."). It is a long-held principle that Congress speaks clearly when it intends to abrogate a common law principle or privilege. See Bassett v. United States, 137 U.$. 496, 505-06 (1890) ("[B ]efore any departure from the rule affirmed through the ages of the common law---a rule having its solid foundation in the best interests of society- can be adjudged, the language declaring the legislative will should be so clear as to prevent doubt as to its intent and limit.").
Although the Act broadly categorizes items required to be produced, the Act does not include language expressly requiring the Department to produce privileged materials. See Sec. 2(a); Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, 597 U.S. 629, 642 (2022) ("Congress expresses its intentions
Page 2 of 6
through statutory text passed by both Houses and signed by the President."). A privilege log will be produced in due course as required under the Act](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eeitvtxcbjt3vmljqfmwzahz/bafkreichouiljlyrb52lm6ral3ktbimqez6djhkoc2in52tzjgp4loazee@jpeg)
