DOJ Withheld Trump-Related Files from Epstein Document Release

A Democratic lawmaker and multiple reports allege the U.S. Department of Justice withheld or removed files related to Donald Trump from its release of documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The DOJ is accused of not providing these specific files in response to a public records request, with one report calling it a 'very poorly done cover up.'

In a separate development related to the Epstein scandal, the British government has announced it will release documents concerning Prince Andrew. The U.S. political reaction to the overall document disclosures has been described as muted compared to a more significant reckoning occurring in Europe.
