Is the Justice Department covering up Trump-Epstein ties, or protecting victims as required by law?

The Spin

Democratic narrative

The Justice Department deliberately tried to conceal critical evidence to protect Trump and his associates from having their Epstein connections exposed. Heavily redacted documents, missing key files like the 60-count indictment, and the suspicious removal of Trump's photo from Epstein's collection reveal a calculated cover-up that prioritizes power over accountability for survivors.

Republican narrative

The photo removal had nothing to do with protecting Trump and everything to do with safeguarding victims' identities per court orders. Dozens of Trump-Epstein photos already exist publicly, making claims of a cover-up absurd. The methodical review process with hundreds of lawyers ensures victim protection as the law requires.
