After the Jeffrey Epstein story receded from the headlines for several weeks, allowing other things to take over the news cycle, a massive cache of three million pages of new Epstein documents was suddenly released on Friday.

The files include numerous damning details about Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and several different NFL owners. Also included are numerous FBI records featuring anonymous tips received by the FBI, accusing various people of various things, including a very disturbing allegation against 1980s TV host Robin Leach.

These tips should be taken with a grain of salt; they are, after all, anonymous tips that anyone can submit, although if the FBI has neglected to investigate them fully, that’s a whole other discussion. And one such tip about Donald Trump has drawn attention, mostly because it suddenly disappeared.

According to Raw Story, “The internet was in uproar Friday after several newly released documents in the Jeffrey Epstein files were pulled from the Department of Justice website, including one document that included an FBI tip from a woman who claimed her friend was forced as a young teenager to perform a sex act on President Donald Trump.”

“One email, which has since been removed, contains summaries of complaints received through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center (NTOC), which receives, evaluates, and processes public tips about alleged crimes or threats,” Raw Story’s report said.

“Trump has not been convicted or formally accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein,” the Raw Story account says. “It’s unclear what prompted the DOJ to remove the document, which is one of a number that has been reportedly pulled from the library of materials.”

The unverified tips include several occasions that Trump engaged in specific bad acts, but nothing resembling smoking gun proof of his guilt.

The missing documents, however, have been preserved and posted on social media:
