A bombshell report regarding the Epstein files is threatening to spoil President Donald Trump’s big day.

An NPR investigation, published the morning of the president’s State of the Union address, alleges that the DOJ withheld dozens of documents from its Epstein release that may pertain to a woman who accused Trump and Jeffrey Epstein of sexually abusing her when she was a minor.

The FBI took the allegations against the president so seriously that it reportedly sent agents to interview his accuser a total of four times in 2019. However, only documents regarding the first interview have been released, independent journalist Roger Sollenberger revealed this month.

NPR now reports that the missing documents from the next three interviews “include what appears to be more than 50 pages” of documents detailing FBI sit-downs with the accuser, who said she was around 13 when she was abused by the men in the early 1980s.

This will probably eat at him until he cuts loose about 20 minutes into the speech. He'll see all those survivors and knowing someone has the goods on him and we all know about it...

That stacked on top of all the drugs they'll have him pumped up on, there's a recipe for the 'blow-it' case of the century right there.

I'll wait for the reviews. I've decided to occupy my time doing other things.

We don't know her real name, but she filed a suit (under the name Katie Johnson) against Chump back in 2016. It was abruptly dismissed and she hasn't been seen or heard from since 2016. If she's alive, then she and her family have left New York and changed their names. Or they might be dead or in permanent seclusion.

I believe the FBI knows something. They at least know whether she's alive or dead.

wearing Epstein masks would be such a great idea.

Show Don-Pedo the same respect and decorum he shows women everywhere.

"A bombshell report regarding the Epstein files is threatening to spoil Piggy’s big day."

Really? His big day? A report about a child he raped is gonna "spoil his big day"???

Oh, boo hoo. How pathetic.

From your POV, is it the rape that’s pathetic, or is it Diddling Donny’s denials that are pathetic?

is pretty clear. Rapists or pedophile protectors should not be felt sorry for.

Hope many remind Piggy Orange Traitor this evening of the true state of the union: USA USA is “led” by a child predator.

Anything else is a lie!

Will they have the ChumpStein victims removed if he lies and they yell "BULLSHIT!"?

Their days of being told to submit, shut up and be quiet are over!

I can't watch! I will catch the Late Night experts to explain it!

Go On!
