A photo of U.S. President Donald Trump that had been removed from the cache of Jeffrey Epstein ​files released by the Department of Justice was restored on Sunday after officials determined none of ‌Epstein's victims were in the image, the department said. The photo showing a desk with an open drawer containing a photo of Trump with various women was flagged by the Southern District ‍of New York for review to protect potential victims. ADVERTISEMENT"After the review, it was determined there is no evidence that any Epstein ⁠victims are depicted in the photograph, ​and it has been reposted without any alteration or ​redaction," the Justice ‍Department said on X on Sunday. The Justice Department released thousands of documents on Friday related to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender who committed suicide in 2019. The Justice Department said on Sunday it acted with an abundance of caution after receiving requests from alleged victims and their lawyers to remove information.
