I read another post about the ongoing drama that is the Epstein files, and a thought occurred to me.

We can probably safely say that Trump does not want them to be published, and we can also say that the current FBI admistration is perfectly happy to oblige him.

So the question is: Do they even still exist? Or exist in their entirety? Is there some kind of mechanism that protects case files and the according evidence from tampering or outright destruction? And does it hold against individuals and even a whole administration with a willful disregard for laws and regulations?

Is that a realistic offer?
