BREAKING: BOMBSHELL! New report shows Trump intervened to shut down the Epstein probe and Kash Patel’s FBI is helping cover it up! In a stunning revelation, newly released emails show that Trump's deputy chief of staff was PERSONALLY INVOLVED in preparing the FBI's infamous memo declaring there was no Epstein “client list,” no evidence warranting investigations of additional suspects, and no reason to release more files. And when the emails were finally made public, the FBI had BLACKED OUT the five lines containing the White House's suggested edits! According to explosive new reporting from Raw Story, Taylor Budowich, then Trump's deputy chief of staff, emailed FBI Director Kash Patel two weeks before the July 2025 memo was released. “Have something I can edit?” Budowich asked. “Just got it from [the] DOJ. Here you go. Thanks,” Patel replied. The following week, Budowich emailed Patel and then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche with “Some suggested edits.” What did Trump's White House want changed in the memo that effectively shut down the Epstein investigation? We don't know. The FBI REDACTED the suggestions before releasing the correspondence. But we DO know that Budowich shared the draft with the White House communications team and then demanded that the Justice Department put its official letterhead on the document before it went to reporters. “I need a version on letterhead,” Budowich insisted. “Someone needs to own this. I can't give a doc to a reporter that could easily be confused with a [school] term paper.” Someone needs to own this! Indeed … Apparently, the White House was perfectly comfortable helping prepare the memo, but wanted the Justice Department's name prominently attached when the public saw it. And remember: This all happened AFTER Trump had been briefed that his own name appeared in the Epstein files. The memo subsequently told Americans there was no basis for further investigation or disclosure. “These records show that Kash Patel worked hand-in-hand with the former White House deputy chief of staff,” said Chris Swartz of the Democracy Defenders Fund, which obtained the emails through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Rep. Madeleine Dean called the memo's claims “bogus” and accused Trump's team of trying to protect the president and his political allies. The White House declined to explain what Budowich wanted changed. Instead, a spokesperson regurgitated the talking point that Trump had been “totally exonerated” in the Epstein matter, although no such formal exoneration has occurred. We still don't know whether Budowich's edits were accepted or what those five redacted lines said. But Americans now know that Trump's White House was helping shape the official memo that told them to stop looking for answers about Jeffrey Epstein. Trump campaigned and won the election in 2024 based in part on his pledge to release the Epstein files. Yet once in office, his White House helped prepare the very memo declaring that Americans had seen enough. And when the public finally obtained the emails documenting that involvement, the White House's proposed changes were concealed behind FBI redactions. That is a betrayal of the transparency Trump promised his own voters. These emails expose the White House meddling in a decision that was presented as the judgment of federal investigators, dare we say covering up the crimes of the President of the United States. Full. Transparency. Now.
