Trump: "We're going to be running it with a group and we're going to make sure it's run properly. We're going to rebuild the oil infrastructure…We're going to get the oil flowing the way it should be."

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
