Dozens of files related to the FBI’s interviews with Trump’s 13-year-old accuser are reportedly still sealed.

A federal judge has cornered the Justice Department for withholding files on FBI interviews with the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release unredacted versions of several Jeffrey Epstein files, or explain why the DOJ should be allowed to keep them secret, as he sided with investigative journalist Katie Phang, who had accused Blanche of violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He gave the government until July 2 to comply.

    The total baselessness of these accusations is also supported by the obvious fact that Joe Biden’s Department of Justice knew about them for four years and did nothing with them—because they knew President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt

    If he did absolutely nothing wrong then release the files.

      Merick Garland knew plenty of things and didn’t do shit either. The fuck has that got to do with the truth? Republicans always act like they’re the victims of attacks that don’t happen and then use it to make the first attack later using their fantasies or how it went down as a blueprint. It’s getting really fucking old. We should be even more ruthless than they already accuse us of being.
