An NPR investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files finds the Justice Department has removed or withheld dozens of pages from the public database of Epstein documents.

Some pages relate to accusations of sexual abuse that also contain mention of President Trump.

The Justice Department prepared a slideshow last fall.

It mentioned a claim that Trump sexually abused a minor around 1983.

The minor was also allegedly being abused by Epstein.

The allegation against Trump was sent to an FBI field office for further investigation.

But NPR's Stephen Fowler reports the allegation does not show up in the new release of files.
