Donald Trump’s DOJ is accused of shredding files after his death
Donald Trump’s Justice Department is under renewed scrutiny after a newly surfaced report alleged that officials destroyed large amounts of documents in the days following Jeffrey Epstein’s death. RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The explosive accusation, hidden in a series of documents released earlier this year, suggests that key materials may have been discarded while federal investigators were still trying to figure out what happened in the New York prison where the disgraced financier died.
According to the document, seen by The everyday beasta Bureau of Prisons assessment team was sent to the Metropolitan Correctional Center shortly after Epstein was found dead in August 2019.
But instead of simply examining the procedures, witnesses described a steady stream of shredded paperwork being removed from the facility.
“[Redacted] “I have never seen so many bags of shredded documents coming out to be thrown into the dumpster at the rear gate of the MCC,” the report said.
The activity reportedly occurred while multiple agencies, including the FBI and Inspector General officials, were present during the ongoing investigation.
The report paints a chaotic picture, with individuals reportedly rushing to throw out material as the review unfolded.
“Last week, Epstein hanged himself, and an investigation is ongoing,” the report reads, noting that the after-action team was intended to assess what went wrong.
Instead, witnesses said documents were destroyed en masse.
“[Redacted] brought back bags of shredded papers, about 4 or 5 bags, and the caller took them to the gate to throw them in the dumpster. [Redacted] told the caller that the after-action team is shredding massive amounts of paperwork,” the report said.
“Caller found it suspicious that an after-action team charged with investigating would shred massive amounts of paperwork,” the document continued.
At one point, those overseeing the process are said to have instructed others, “Make sure you get that box too.”
The report also suggests there was urgency behind the recovery efforts.
The document stated that the dumpster would be collected within days, with the warning: “If anyone cares what has been shredded, it must be collected by 8am on Monday.”
Epstein’s 2019 death in federal custody continues to stir controversy, with officials labeling it a suicide despite a wave of public skepticism.
Then-Attorney General William Barr said he was “shocked” by the circumstances and admitted the case raised “serious questions that need to be answered.”
These concerns only increased after it emerged that guards had failed to carry out required checks and were accused of falsifying data, although the charges were later dropped.
