    16 Epstein Files Flagged 'POTUS' by DOJ

    Newly released FBI documents reveal a Justice Department spreadsheet from March 2025, listing 16 Epstein case files flagged with the designation 'POTUS'. The purpose of this flag is unclear, as neither the DOJ nor FBI has explained it. The files cover a mix of materials, including articles, message pads, and phone message books. Despite an initial effort to release Epstein records, the administration reversed course, citing no further disclosures were 'appropriate or warranted'. The Epstein Files Transparency Act later compelled the release of 3.5 million pages, but the 'POTUS' flag's significance remains unknown.
