The president has long denied any crimes related to Epstein. And there’s no public evidence that the allegations against him are credible.But a new NPR investigation reveals that the Justice Department withheld some of the Epstein files related to allegations that Trump sexually abused a minor in the ‘80s.In this installment of our weekly politics series, “If You Can Keep It,” what did the DOJ remove exactly?
