If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.

From this DOJ released report, it appears that a girl said that Trump and Epstein raped her. She reported it and was found with her head "blown off." Officers at the scene felt it was NOT suicide.
We need the redactions lifted and related reports released. Then, this should be investigated.

Q And is that why Ms. [redacted] and her attorney were concerned about her testimony here?
A Yes.
Q Now was a subpoena issued for Ms. [redacted] on behalf of this grand jury?
A Yes, it was.
Q And before Ms. [redacted] would comply with that, did she -- did her attorney request some sort of order?
A Yes.
Q And what did he ask for?
