Trickle release of Epstein files on a Friday signals move to bury Trump ties

The Justice Department partially released files related to Jeffrey Epstein on a Friday, leading to accusations that the Trump administration is attempting to minimize potential damage to the former president. The release, mandated by law, was criticized for being incomplete and heavily redacted. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that additional documents would be released over the coming weeks, a process that some believe is designed to bury the story during the holiday season. Despite Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informing Trump that his name was in the files, the initial release contained no mention of him. Critics, including Representative Thomas Massie, claim the release fails to comply with the law.
