Tens of thousands of pages have disappeared from the Justice Department's website, writes Politico, among others. Neither the department nor the White House has given any explanation for the depublication.
According to The Washington Post, which managed to download the material, it contains more references to President Donald Trump than the files released on Friday.
Among other things, a New York-based assistant attorney general is said to have contacted Trump's staff in 2020, when the indictment against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell was being prepared.
On a private jet
"For your information, we want you to know that the flight data we received yesterday shows that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously reported (or what we knew)," the email said.
There are said to be at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996. The material describes a trip with only Trump, Epstein and a 20-year-old woman as passengers, the newspaper writes.
The material that was published also includes a request from the Department of Justice to British authorities to interview then-Prince Andrew as a "key witness" connected to Epstein.
Furthermore, there are submissions from people protesting the plea deal that prosecutors made with Epstein in 2008, which saw him sentenced to 18 months in prison for sex trafficking, which some considered too lenient.
With snare
Internal correspondence from the prison service is also included, including from the time Epstein was detained in New York in 2019. Prison staff had observed him with a homemade noose around his neck, an email says. Discussions were held about moving him a couple of weeks before he was found lifeless in his cell.
It is well known that Donald Trump hung out with convicted sex offender Epstein in the 90s and 00s.
The president himself has said that he did not know about Epstein's dealings with minors until it became known through a legal settlement in 2008. Trump has also said that he broke up with Epstein in the mid-00s.
