The Department of Justice was reportedly caught deleting evidence that sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell was in possession of three interviews that could possibly be used as blackmail over President Donald Trump and were not released to the general public.
On Friday, investigative reporter Roger Sollenberger laid out the timeline of when the DOJ removed documents showing that Maxwell's legal team had possessed "a key document about a woman who told the FBI that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child."
After Sollenberger reported the missing document, it was soon available on the DOJ's website again.
"[T]his document shows the FBI conducted not just one but four interviews with Trump’s accuser," the report stated. "[W]hile the government gave all four of those interviews to Maxwell’s legal team ahead of her trial, the government gave only one of those four interviews to us in the Epstein files."
"In other words, this document shows that, in choosing to withhold three of the four interviews from the Epstein files, the DOJ has granted Maxwell potential blackmail on the sitting president of the United States," Sollenberger concluded.
