"Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump."
https://www.npr.org/2026/02/24/nx-s1-5723968/epstein-files-trump-accusation-maxwell

The missing files are about accusations that Trump sexually assaulted a child and hit her in the head. The FBI interviewed the accuser four times and the DOJ has not released the interview notes.

All allegations of Trump wrongdoing are worth watching. But this one is special because it has three properties:
1. It's serious.
2. It's well-documented. (Thanks to #NPR.)
3. It's one that many #MAGA voters and politicians take seriously.

Hundreds of Trump scandals have the first two properties. Almost none has the third.

This creates the prospect of actual accountability.

Update. It's no mystery why major US newspapers are not covering this story as forthrightly as #TheGuardian. Big part of the problem.
