Before and after DOJ realized they left Trump’s name in an Epstein document:
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

In the end, the decision will be up to Ukraine and up to Russia, it will not be up to the United States.

The thing that really struck me is a scene from election night 2024. I’d never seen the cover they were going to run if Kamala Harris won.
