BREAKING: Epstein survivors DEMAND investigation into whether Trump officials tampered with the Epstein files before their release.

With the clock ticking toward the Trump administration’s court-ordered release of the long-hidden Epstein files, Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats are demanding an emergency audit — because they’re worried the records may have been tampered with, altered, or quietly erased before the public ever sees them.

And the reason for their suspicion? Trump’s own Justice Department.

In a blistering letter to the DOJ inspector general, Senators Adam Schiff and Dick Durbin demanded a full chain-of-custody review after explosive allegations surfaced that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel ordered 1,000 FBI employees to work around the clock — specifically to find every single reference to Donald Trump in the Epstein documents.

Yes, you read that right. A thousand federal workers. 24-hour shifts. All to hunt for Trump’s name in files related to one of the most notorious sex traffickers in modern history.

Survivors say they’ve seen this movie before — decades of powerful men hiding behind institutions that eagerly erase evidence for them. Now they’re calling for a third-party review to check whether anything has been “scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed.”

“These records have passed through too many hands, behind too many closed doors,” said Spencer Kuvin, who represents multiple survivors. “No one should assume they are intact, unaltered, or complete.”

The pressure is rising fast. Three federal judges recently ordered the unsealing of grand jury records from the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell probes — meaning the most extensive batch of Epstein investigative materials ever is about to hit the public eye. And Congress gave Trump’s DOJ until Dec. 19 to release virtually everything, with minimal redactions.

But after allegations that Trump’s handpicked loyalists ordered a secret internal sweep looking for mentions of him — and other high-profile individuals — Democrats want receipts: Who handled the files? How many times were they accessed? Who had the opportunity to delete, tweak, or bury documents?

And why were Trump officials so desperate to comb through the evidence first?

For survivors, trust in the government evaporated long ago. Epstein got a sweetheart deal in Florida. Maxwell’s crimes spanned decades. And when Epstein died by “suicide” in federal custody, transparency didn’t exactly improve.

So no, they aren’t willing to take Trump’s DOJ at its word — especially when the same DOJ allegedly ran a round-the-clock operation to shield the president from embarrassment.

The inspector general now has until January 19 to deliver answers.

Survivors have waited decades for the truth. They’re not about to let anyone — especially the Trump administration — edit it first.
