White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson and the Trump administration were called out on social media for erroneously inserting a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross into the recently released Epstein files to falsely imply it showed the trio was with Epstein’s victims.
The Justice Department released a slew of documents, images and recordings related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday after Congress passed bipartisan legislation last month forcing the release. The newly released documents included heavy redactions.
Multiple outlets, including The Associated Press and CBS, reported that dozens of the files that were previously available in the documents vanished by Saturday with no explanation from the White House, sparking accusations that President Donald Trump’s DOJ is selectively withholding information.
On Friday, Abigail Jackson posted a photo on X of the “Thriller” singer, Clinton and Ross alongside several minors whose faces appeared redacted in the image.
