At Least 16 Epstein Files, Including Trump's Photo, Disappear From DOJ Website Without Public Notice

At least 16 files vanished from the US Justice Department’s public webpage on Jeffrey Epstein documents less than a day after posting, including a photo of President Donald Trump with Epstein, Melania Trump, and Ghislaine Maxwell. There has been no explanation from the government or public notice. These files, visible on Friday but gone by Saturday, featured striking images like paintings of nude women and a collage of photos pulled from drawers and a credenza. Tucked inside one drawer amid the snapshots sat a picture of Trump standing with Jeffrey Epstein, Melania Trump, and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close associate, Associated Press reported. The Justice Department stayed silent on the removals, offering no clue if it was deliberate.  Word spread fast online, igniting fresh speculation about the wipeout and the lack of public notice. It only amplified the endless fascination with Epstein and the elite circles he ran in. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee seized on the Trump photo in an X post, demanding: “What else is being covered up? We need transparency for the American public.” This incident piled onto frustrations from the department's big document drop, which spanned tens of thousands of pages but delivered few bombshells on Epstein's crimes or the choices that let him dodge tough federal charges for years. Key pieces stayed absent, like FBI chats with victims and internal memos on prosecution calls. Gaps Leave Big Questions Unanswered The initial batch skipped some of the records everyone awaited with FBI interviews with survivors and Justice Department notes dissecting why they pursued charges or didn't missing. Those could have shed light on investigators' thinking and how Epstein snagged that lenient 2008 state prostitution plea. The holes ran deeper. Congress's new law forced these releases, yet big names tied to Epstein, like Britain’s former Prince Andrew, barely got a mention. It reignited debates: Who got probed? Who slipped by? Do these files really push accountability forward? However, there were some fresh insights. The DOJ revealed how the Justice Department shelved a 2000s probe, paving Epstein's path to that minor plea. Plus, a never-seen-before 1996 complaint accused him of stealing kids' photos. There was a series of never-before-seen photos of former President Bill Clinton, but Trump pics were scarce. Both of them have disowned their friendship with Epstein. Photos of Epstein’s lavish pads in New York City and the U.S. Virgin Islands, dotted with celeb and pol faces also surfaced. Congress set a Friday deadline for full release, but the department opted for a staggered rollout. They cited the grind of redacting survivors' names and personal details. There is no word yet on when the next batch of records will be released.

'Your Mantra Will Echo In Our Hearts Forever': Yunus Vows To Follow Osman Hadi's Legacy

Bangladesh stood still in grief and resolve as Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus addressed the funeral of slain youth leader Sharif Osman Hadi at Sangsad Bhaban on Saturday, promising that the nation would carry forward the ideals Hadi lived and died for. Speaking before a sea of mourners, Yunus said Hadi’s words and vision would remain etched in the country’s collective conscience, guiding generations to come. ‘A Promise We Must Keep’: Yunus at Sangsad Bhaban As waves of people gathered at the funeral venue, Yunus reflected on the scale of the moment. While thousands stood present, he noted that crores across Bangladesh, and Bangladeshis living overseas, were anxiously waiting to hear about Hadi. “We have come to make a promise to you, that what you told us, we will fulfil,” Yunus said, according to the Daily Star. He described Hadi’s message as a lasting mantra, one that would echo through the nation’s history and shape its future. According to Yunus, the ideals left behind by Hadi would instil dignity and resilience in every Bangladeshi, reinforcing a powerful belief: that the nation would never bow its head. A Legacy That Refuses to Fade Emphasising the depth of Hadi’s influence, the chief adviser said the young leader would continue to live on in memory and spirit. His values, Yunus added, would inspire citizens long after the grief of the present moment had passed. “Today, on behalf of all of us, we make a promise to you that we will move forward imbued with your mantra,” Yunus said as he concluded his address, drawing a long and emotional silence from the crowd. The Killing That Shocked a Nation Sharif Osman Hadi, a prominent youth leader, was shot in the head by masked gunmen on December 12 while attending an election campaign in the Bijoynagar area of central Dhaka. Gravely injured, he was flown abroad for advanced treatment but succumbed to his wounds in Singapore on Thursday. His funeral was held earlier on Friday in Dhaka amid tight security, as thousands gathered to pay their final respects. Protests, Unrest, and a City on Edge Hadi’s killing triggered widespread anger and grief across the country. Late Thursday and early Friday, thousands poured onto the streets of Dhaka, demanding justice. The unrest soon spread beyond the capital, with protesters attempting to march toward Indian diplomatic sites and vandalising properties associated with the former ruling Awami League. During the violence, offices of major media organisations, including The Daily Star and Prothom Alo, were attacked. Protesters also targeted the partially demolished residence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, underscoring the intensity of public outrage. Warnings Against Chaos and Division In a late-night Facebook post on Thursday, Inquilab Monchi warned of a deeper conspiracy behind the destruction. “Through destruction and fire, certain groups aim to render Bangladesh an ineffective state,” the post read, alleging attempts to undermine the country’s independence and sovereignty. It added pointedly, “You must understand—32 and 36 are not the same.” Government Appeals for Restraint Ahead of Polls Amid the turmoil, the government on Friday stressed the significance of the upcoming elections and referendum, calling them more than routine political events. Describing them as a “solemn national commitment,” it linked the democratic process directly to Hadi’s sacrifice. “This promise is inseparable from the dream for which Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi gave his life,” the statement said, urging citizens to show restraint, act responsibly, and reject hatred in all forms.
