What has changed?





What does a content diff show?

Did they fix the bad redactions? Even though it doesn’t matter anymore…

reply


Of course it matters.

Critical mass being aware is the whole game when it comes to corrupt governance.

Minority always gets laughed off.

That’s why the Internet being transitioned to feed-overload by state-influenced-at-least corporations is so vital.

Could be as easy as them now properly redacting out the stuff they wanted to redact.

Apparently, it's a movable feast. [0]

This is the "newest" article I found on the matter. Monday 22 December 2025

> The Democrats from the House Oversight Committee drew attention to the apparent removal of an image showing two printed pictures of Mr Trump in a desk draw.

> One picture had Mr Trump standing surrounded by women in bathing suits, while the second appears to be an already known picture - partly obscured - of him, his wife Melania, Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

> After the Democrats flagged the missing image on Saturday, Sky News went back to the files online and confirmed that it did appear to be missing, despite the fact they downloaded it when the files were initially released on Friday.

> The other photos removed from the trove of documents were almost all nude paintings of women in Epstein's home.

> In a post on X on Sunday, the DOJ said the image including pictures of Mr Trump has since been reposted on to the Epstein Files page.
