DOJ has been accused of removing Trump’s photo from the Epstein files. The disappearance of the EFTA00000468 file has raised questions about transparency, even though the image still exists in an open-source archive.
DOJ Trump Photo Epstein Files: Jeffrey Epstein case is once again in the news in America, but this time the reason is very mysterious. Among the thousands of files related to Epstein made public by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), a file containing the photo of President Donald Trump suddenly disappeared. The reference number of this file was EFTA00000468, and now there is a flood of questions regarding the same.
After all, what was in the file EFTA00000468?
On Friday, the DOJ made public thousands of documents related to the Epstein case. There was a photograph in these files, in which an open desk drawer was visible. Many pictures of Donald Trump were kept inside that drawer. In one picture, Trump was seen with some young women, while in the other picture he was with his wife and America’s First Lady Melania Trump. The photo was officially registered in the DOJ’s Epstein Document Library under the name EFTA00000468.

Then why did this file suddenly disappear from the DOJ website?
When people checked the official website of DOJ on Saturday morning, this picture was not present there. The surprising thing was that there was a mistake in the list of file numbers also. Where previously EFTA00000467 was followed by EFTA00000468, now EFTA00000469 appears directly. This clearly indicated that the middle file has been deleted.
Has this photo been completely deleted?
No. The photo was removed from the DOJ’s website, but its copy did not disappear completely. Indeed, many open-source and public archive websites saved these files shortly after the DOJ’s initial release. The photo of EFTA00000468 can still be seen in these archives.
What allegations did the Democrats make against the DOJ?
As soon as this matter came to light, Oversight Democrats raised questions on social media platform X. He posted that this photo related to Trump has now been removed from the DOJ release. Also tagging Attorney General Pam Bondi, she was asked whether this file had really been deleted and what was being hidden.
Were the Epstein files not released in their entirety despite the law?
Last month, Congress passed a law, which was signed by President Trump himself. Under this law, DOJ had to make public all the documents related to Epstein. But all the files could not be released by the stipulated deadline. The DOJ says many documents are still under editing for the protection and privacy of victims.
Are questions being raised on the transparency of DOJ?
Absolutely. The sudden disappearance of the EFTA00000468 file has raised questions about the intentions of the DOJ. The Epstein investigation, which has been going on for two decades, has already been sensitive, and now this deletion of the file has intensified the debate about whether all the information is really being made public or whether some things are still behind the scenes. EFTA00000468 is no longer just a file number, but has now become a big mystery related to DOJ transparency, the Epstein case, and American politics. There may be more revelations regarding this file in the coming days.
