The FBI interviewed a credible Trump accuser four times and created a 21 page slideshow for an internal DOJ presentation. Why did the Trump Administration scrub the information?

Last week, investigative reporter Roger Sollenberger found evidence in the Epstein Files that the DOJ created a 21-page slideshow in 2025 in reference to Trump allegedly assaulting a teenage girl in the 1980s. This woman later settled with the Epstein estate in 2021. This week, NPR and, earlier today, the NYT, expanded on Roger’s reporting and revealed that the FBI conducted four interviews with her and wrote four separate summaries. Oddly, only one summary describing her credible accusations against Epstein was released, but the other three remain missing.

Three days after her second interview, Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell. Epstein’s long-time criminal associate, Jean Luc-Brunel, was also found dead in his prison cell in 2022. The alleged cause of death was suicide.

    Brunel was in a French prison and had actually attempted suicide multiple times before he got it right.

    He had been released to house arrest awaiting his trial and the French cops were actually paying attention, so when he almost instantly violated the terms, he went right back to prison.

    By law in France, suicide watch has a limited duration. Brunel exploited this.

      Thanks for the info, I didn’t dig into this.

      However, considering his position in this, and the shit he must’ve been able to spill, I don’t personally accept suicide as opposed to suicided/killed in these cases as a determined fact so “easily”. There are still arguments for both scenarios and something in-between.

        Brunel was an aging monster who was finally facing consequences. And again, in France. He had multiple attempts at fleeing the mortal coil, and finally got it right.

        Conspiratorial thinking is fun and all, but you end up turning off your brain when you engage in it. You just admitted you know nothing of the case and then declare that he must have been murdered. Do you see the problem here?
