Trump accused of ‘flagrant’ Epstein law violation as redactions spark cover-up claims
President Donald Trump is facing fresh allegations of unlawfully shielding himself after the latest release of Epstein investigation files appeared to violate the Epstein Transparency Act, according to progressive commentator Brian Tyler Cohen. In a Sunday video, Cohen zeroed in on redactions tied to an email about Steve Bannon possessing a photo of Ghislaine Maxwell, arguing that the law allows redactions only to protect victims or minors — not politicians. Since neither Trump nor Maxwell qualifies, Cohen said the only plausible explanation is political protection, calling it a “flagrant violation” of the statute and further evidence of a cover-up. The controversy adds to mounting scrutiny over Trump’s repeated delays and obfuscation surrounding the Epstein files, which the DOJ missed a statutory deadline to release despite Trump’s campaign promises of full transparency.
