Trump DOJ Accused of Destroying Epstein Files; Goldman Sachs Lawyer Gets $25M Raise
New allegations claim Trump's DOJ shredded 'huge amounts' of Epstein documents after his death, while a Goldman Sachs lawyer with Epstein ties saw pay rise to $25 million.
New explosive allegations have emerged claiming that Donald Trump's Department of Justice destroyed substantial amounts of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents following the financier's death in federal custody. According to reporting by The Daily Beast and AOL, sources allege the DOJ "shredded 'huge amounts'" of Epstein files, raising fresh questions about potential evidence destruction in one of the most high-profile criminal cases in recent history.
Meanwhile, The Times reports that a Goldman Sachs lawyer with documented ties to Jeffrey Epstein has seen their compensation rise to $25 million despite the connection. This development highlights ongoing concerns about accountability for financial industry figures who maintained relationships with Epstein during his years of alleged criminal activity. The substantial pay increase has drawn scrutiny given the heightened awareness around Epstein's extensive network of professional contacts.
Politico separately reported on what it describes as the "Epstein files' cottage industry," examining the broader ecosystem that has developed around the ongoing document releases and investigations. The various threads of Epstein-related news continue to generate significant public interest, as reflected in unusual stories like those reported by LADbible and UNILAD about an individual who claims to have been harassed due to his physical resemblance to Epstein.
These developments come as the Epstein Document Archive continues to provide public access to over 207,000 investigation documents, offering transparency in a case where allegations of evidence destruction and institutional cover-ups persist.
