Congressman Says Redacted Part of Epstein File Suggests Trump Never Banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago

https://people.com/jamie-raskin-unredacted-epstein-file-trump-claim-11903119

A previously unseen section of the Epstein files may refute one of President Donald Trump's defenses about his friendship with the convicted sex offender

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin spoke with reporters on Monday after viewing unredacted versions of the Epstein files, relaying that one document he saw appeared to suggest that Trump never asked Epstein to leave his Mar-a-Lago club like the president has claimed

Raskin also said that the Justice Department has only released about half of the files in the Epstein evidence, claiming they've withheld around three million documents
