US Justice Department officials on Sunday, December 21, denied redacting the Epstein files to protect President Donald Trump, as criticism mounted over the partial and heavily-censored release of documents.

Victims of Jeffrey Epstein have expressed anger after a cache of records from cases against the late sex offender were released Friday with many pages blacked out and photos censored.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday defended the release by the Justice Department, telling NBC’s Meet the Press that “we are not redacting information around President Trump.” When asked if any material was redacted to due to political sensitivities – which would be illegal – Blanche replied “absolutely, positively not.”

    I think MAGA tends to follow the narcissist’s prayer model tbh:

    That didn’t happen.
    And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
    And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
    And if it is, that’s not my fault.
    And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
    And if I did, you deserved it.

    They’re somewhere around 1-3 depending on the specific person atm.
