Breaking News: Justice Department Withholds Critical Epstein Files, 13 Photos Redacted

The US Department of Justice has temporarily removed at least 13 photos from the Epstein files website, citing concerns raised by victims. The move comes just two days after the files were made public on the DOJ's website.

The redacted images include a photo of US President Donald Trump, which was flagged by the Southern District of New York for potential further action to protect victims. The DOJ claims the image was removed out of an abundance of caution for further review.

The Epstein files were made public on Friday, revealing a trove of documents, images, and information related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring. The files include cassettes and high-profile figures, sparking widespread interest and scrutiny.

The current status of the redacted files is unclear, with the DOJ stating that the review is ongoing. The House Oversight Committee has questioned the removal of the images, with Democrats asking Attorney General Pam Bondi what else may be being covered up.

This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
