At least 16 documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have vanished from the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) website, as reported by The Associated Press. Notably, one of these files included images of President Trump.

The DOJ has not provided an explanation for the removal of these files. The Hill has reached out to the department in hopes of obtaining a comment.

Previously, the DOJ’s website advised that if any released information contained non-public personal details or sensitive content, including sexual matters, the public should notify the department. Upon such notification, officials promised to address and rectify any issues promptly.

Although the reason for the removal of certain files remains unclear, attorney Gloria Allred noted on CNN that she was approached by individuals whose information they believed should not have been made public.

In a statement to The Hill, Allred mentioned that her legal team contacted the DOJ on Saturday regarding names in the documents that should have been kept confidential.

“I can’t reveal where the names appeared, but we were told that the names will be redacted,” she said.

Files now missing from DOJ’s “Epstein Library” webpage included images of paintings depicting nude women and a series of photographs showing a desk with drawers, the AP wrote. The files were available upon their release Friday and were no longer accessible the next day.

One photo of the desk included two pictures inside an open drawer that featured Trump. The first printed picture shows Trump surrounded by a group of women in bathing suits. The second partially covered photo shows Trump with first lady Melania Trump, Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell in 2000.

“This photo, file 468, from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently now been removed from the DOJ release,” Democrats on the House Oversight Committee stated in a post on the social platform X. “[Attorney General Pam Bondi] is this true? What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.”

The rollout of files have been met with a wave of criticism over the heavy redactions and few revelations between Friday and Saturday. Photos released Friday showed Epstein with several prominent figures, including former President Clinton; actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker; musicians Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross; and news anchor Walter Cronkite.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) slammed the Trump administration for not releasing all the files in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, of which Massie sponsored. The law stated that DOJ had 30 days to release all the files and also redact the names and identities of victims and individuals possibly under investigation.

The Kentucky Republican fired off several criticisms before asking followers on the social platform X to compare the text in the Epstein Files Transparency Act to DOJ’s letter to Congress sent on Friday about asserting their privilege to redact some of the files’ materials.

“Compare Language of Epstein Files Transparency Act directing DOJ to provide internal communications regarding their decisions Versus DOJ letter to Congress asserting privilege to omit materials related to decisions, because they weren’t specified by law,” Massie said in his post.

“THEY ARE FLAUNTING LAW,” he added.

On Friday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said DOJ would continue to release the files in the coming weeks. He cited the delay was the result of redacting any names or identifying information of witnesses.
