A new NPR investigation reveals the Justice Department withheld portions of the Jeffrey Epstein files that contain allegations involving President Trump, including material tied to claims that Mr. Trump sexually abused a minor and that some pages mentioning him were removed from the public record.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee called that out today, saying that DOJ's withholding of information could amount to a crime.
For more on that and the surrounding fallout, we're joined now by Julie K. Brown, investigative reporter for The Miami Herald whose reporting helped expose much of the Epstein network.
Julie, welcome back to the program. It's great to have you.
Julie K. Brown, The Miami Herald:
