'FBI agents were told to 'flag' any Epstein records that mentioned Trump, Sen. Durbin says'

"FBI agents assigned earlier this year to review investigative files in the criminal case against notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were instructed to 'flag' any documents that mentioned President Donald Trump, Sen. Richard Durbin said Friday."

"Durbin’s claim came in letters the Illinois Democrat sent to the Justice Department and FBI asking them to explain discrepancies between past statements about a promised release of the Epstein files and findings from a July 7 Justice Department memo, which said no such release would happen."

"Durbin’s letters, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino, add to the pressure on the Trump administration over Bondi’s decision to withhold from the public evidence about Epstein despite her past promises."
