24.12.2025 โข The Day the DOJ Discovered a Million More Epstein Documents
โจMorning editorial priorities were split between the aftermath of the Supreme Court's block on National Guard deployment to Chicago and the ongoing fallout from the Department of Justice's Epstein file release. While mainstream outlets highlighted President Trumpโs mentions in the archive, conservative editors prioritized reports of a 'Trump Boom' following positive GDP data and the administration's maritime 'quarantine' of Venezuelan oil.
By mid-afternoon, the focus shifted to internal media conflicts, specifically a 'revolt' at CBS News over pulled '60 Minutes' segments and allegations of censorship. However, the evening headlines were dominated by a major disclosure from the Justice Department: the discovery of over one million additional documents related to the Epstein case. This revelation, paired with a request for a multi-week extension, reoriented the narrative toward administrative delays. The day concluded with reporting on President Trumpโs Christmas Eve activities, including his NORAD Santa calls and a holiday message containing threats toward domestic political opponents.
