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.

    Sometime after Trump is dead, where everybody can pretend to be shocked and clearly had no way of possibly knowing

      This is it. They will wait until he is dead. Then MAGA simps can claim, we never supported him but he was the Republican president so we had too, or they just die with him. Even better actually.
