I know that there's a deep concern about international events and wars

The U.S. Justice Department has now reposted a photograph of President Donald Trump
that had been removed from the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The photo shows Trump posing with a number of women
and was flagged by prosecutors for review, they say, to protect potential victims.
Todd Blanche is the U.S. Deputy Attorney General.
We learned after releasing that photograph that there were concerns about
those women and the fact that we had put that photo up. So we pulled that photo down. It is nothing
to do with President Trump. There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the
public seeing him with Mr. Epstein. He has said that in the 90s and early 2000s, he socialized
with him. Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in the Epstein case and has denied knowing
about Epstein's crimes. And that is the world this hour. For news anytime, go to
