The Justice Department was thrown into crisis Thursday after a senior official was secretly recorded admitting that the agency’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files would be manipulated to shield Republicans while exposing Democrats.
The explosive video, released by James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group, shows Acting Deputy Chief of Special Operations Joseph Schnitt telling a woman he met on the dating app Hinge that the DOJ’s plan was to “redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files, and have a very slanted version of it come out.”
