The Justice Department admitted Thursday that it removed a file containing a photograph of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick with Jeffrey Epstein from the official Epstein database. The photo, discovered by jmail's searchable Epstein Gmail archive, shows both men on Little St. James island and carries DOJ file number EFTA01230639, which yields no results in the official database. A DOJ official claimed the image was part of a batch flagged for nudity and pulled for review with redactions, insisting "no files are being deleted." Lutnick previously stated he visited the island only for a family picnic with his children and nannies. However, Justice Department releases revealed Lutnick and Epstein exchanged emails years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor in 2008, arranging calls and lunches on the island.
