Fox News and other right-wing media figures rushed to the defense of President Donald Trump after the Department of Justice last month released additional documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, insisting the president was "totally exonerated" and that reporters "cannot get Trump anywhere near" Epstein.
However, new reporting shows multiple pages missing from the release, including notes from an interview with one woman who reported that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a minor.
So far, Fox News has ignored this new reporting from NPR, according to a Media Matters review of Fox's programming from when the news broke through 1 p.m. ET on February 25.
