Imagine losing a set of car keys. Now imagine losing dozens of official files on the most high-profile sex trafficking case in modern history. That’s exactly where the FBI finds itself right now.
Recent reports show that dozens of records related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation are apparently missing. This isn’t just bureaucratic clutter. These files include interviews with women who accused Donald Trump of misconduct during the height of Epstein’s operations.
The missing paper trail
The FBI is usually known for keeping a paper trail for everything. It’s their bread and butter. But a significant gap has appeared in the Epstein archive that nobody seems to be able to explain.
According to new disclosures, several key interviews and investigative notes are nowhere to be found. One of the biggest holes involves records from a woman who claimed she was pressured into sexual encounters with Donald Trump at Epstein’s properties. These documents were supposed to be part of the permanent record.
But when people go looking for them? They’re just gone. It’s a massive oversight for an agency that prides itself on being the world’s premier law enforcement body.
Why this matters now
We’ve been told for years that the Epstein case was handled with the utmost care. These missing files suggest something else. It looks like either gross incompetence or a very convenient set of accidents.
It’s hard to ignore the names involved. When records concerning the most powerful people in the world disappear, it’s only natural to ask who was being protected. And so far, the answers from the Department of Justice have been thin at best.
The FBI hasn’t given a clear explanation for how these files were lost. They’ve acknowledged the gaps, but they haven’t said if the records were shredded, misfiled, or simply walked out the door in someone’s briefcase.
A pattern of silence
This isn’t the first time the Epstein investigation has run into “technical difficulties.” From the broken security cameras at his jail cell to the missing flight logs, this entire saga has been defined by things we aren’t allowed to see.
For the survivors, this is another punch in the gut. They sat through difficult, painful interviews with federal agents, trusting that their words would be used to find justice. Instead, those records have vanished into thin air.
The public is left wondering if we’ll ever get the full story of who was really involved in Epstein’s network. If the records don’t exist, the truth becomes a lot harder to prove.
