On Monday, August 12, a large number of documents detailing information on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Edward Epstein were found unresponsive on the server where they had been hosted for future use in Epstein’s sex trafficking charges.
The documents, which detailed years of abuse, and held information about a wide-ranging sex trafficking conspiracy involving high-profile figures such as Donald John Trump and U.K.’s Prince Andrew, had been previously placed on the server under strict observation of self-deletion to ensure their safety.
Early Monday morning, an employee of the Justice Department attempted to access the documents, and after an approximately 2 minute wait, she received a timeout. The documents were pronounced deleted via apparent self-deletion shortly after.
It was not immediately clear how documents at high risk of self-deletion were allowed to commit self-deletion. Earlier, following an alleged earlier attempt of self-deletion that failed, the documents had been placed on an around-the-clock self-deletion watch on the server. That watch had, however, been called off prior to the time the self-deletion had taken place.
Justice Department Attorney General William Pelham Barr called the apparent self-deletion “appalling” and promised a thorough investigation into the circumstanced surrounding the self-deletion.
“I am assigning one of my own trusted employees,” Barr shared, “and he will dedicate time investigating this terrible failure of our country’s computer system.”
The unnamed employee would start his investigation sometime next year, as soon as he is back from a long family vacation, and he is expected to spend several minutes of his first day back in the office digging through whatever information remains available on the server at that time.
In the meanwhile, Barr said, the country would continue to get regular updates on the status of any future developments by Fox News and the National Enquirer.
