‘In-your-face cover up’: Trump photo discovered in Epstein files pulled from DOJ website

One of the thousands of Jeffrey Epstein-related photos released by the Justice Department Friday was removed from the DOJ’s website without explanation, with critics noting it happened to be one of the few photos featuring President Donald Trump.

“File 468 is now missing,” wrote the Faytuks Network Saturday in a social media post on X, an account associated with the news aggregator Faytuks News. “It was one of the few files that showed Trump. They deleted that one, which looks like the clearest sign yet of a cover-up.”

The DOJ released thousands of numerically labeled Epstein files on Friday, including one image that contained a photograph of Trump tucked away in a drawer that critics suggest was likely missed during review. That file, named “EFTA00000468,” is now missing from the DOJ’s website as of Saturday morning.

The image shows a dresser with framed photographs of Epstein with prominent figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Pope John Paul II. Near the bottom of the image, however, is an open drawer with multiple photographs of Trump, including one never-before-seen image of Trump posing alongside young women, at least two of them in swimsuits.

“Guess DOJ forgot to redact these pictures of Trump found in Epstein’s desk drawer,” wrote The Lincoln Project on social media, highlighting the image before it was pulled from the DOJ’s website.

The file is no longer available on the DOJ’s website, though copies from earlier third-party archives of the release remain accessible. Now, attempts to access the file’s original DOJ web address return an error message displaying the code “AccessDenied.”

“So I just looked, this is real,” wrote X user “Ralph,” a concept artist who’s worked on flagship video game titles such as 2017’s “Assassin’s Creed: Origins.” “Someone yesterday made an excellent browser and the document is still in that one though. This is the most in-your-face cover up of all times and it's sick. It's vile. The American government is actively defending pedos.”
