As the Department of Justice continues to drag its feet on releasing all of the files it has on the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the topic continues to haunt Donald Trump and others who were close friends and associates of Epstein.
Just today, the New York Times reported that the DOJ is still reviewing over 5 million pages of documents that involve Epstein and his criminal actions., with the Guardian noting of the Times report:
“Justice department officials told the paper that the effort to work through the voluminous records was drawing in prosecutors who worked on national security and criminal cases, as well as US attorneys’ offices in New York and Florida. The review is expected to take until at least 20 January, more than a month beyond the congressionally ordered 19 December release deadline.”
“Last week, the justice department said it had been told by federal prosecutors in Manhattan and the FBI that they had uncovered more than a million more documents, and that processing these for release could take ‘a few more weeks‘.
“In a post on X from Christmas Eve, the justice department said it had received the documents from the US attorney for the southern district of New York and the FBI in ‘compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, existing statutes, and judicial orders'”.
The Epstein files were at the top of the agenda on C-SPAN’s Washington Journal program, with Darrell, a Democrat from Georgia, telling host Mimi Gerges, “Yeah, my top story for the year is, of course, the Epstein files. We all know that we got a pedophile in the White House right now, and I would advise Ivanka Trump, which is his daughter, and Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, to please hide the grandbabies.”
“Do not let these grandbabies go around Papa, Papa Trump,” he added, “because we all know he’s a pedophile.”
Darrell from Georgia also urged C-SPAN to resist Trump’s efforts to censor the media.
“That guy with the FCC, [Brendan Carr] and Trump and the rest of them clowns over there, they’re going to do everything they can to try to shut C-SPAN down. But I know you guys are going to stand strong and let us keep on calling in.”
