The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees in Washington, DC, and New York to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

Employees in the FBI’s DC and New York field offices received a highly unusual message from their leadership flagged with high importance late Tuesday telling them: “Per a priority request from the Executive Office of the President of the United States, please search any areas where papers or physical media records may be stored, to include both open or closed cases, for records responsive to Amelia Earhart.”

FBI employees were given a priority deadline of Wednesday to respond to the request, which comes on the seventh day of an ongoing federal government shutdown.

President Donald Trump last month said he was directing his administration to “declassify and release all government records” related to Earhart.

1. Can we also add the Epstein files to this search

You fucking child rapist.

[JoseBalow]

2. Knock-knock...

Jefferey Epstein

[SSJVegeta]

3. This is just weird.

[LudwigPastorius]

4. "Hey, look over there!"

[tanyev]

5. How is that fighting crime or protecting the country?

[PATRICK]

6. Whimsical gods

So what is Stephen Miller doing behind his back so that they let the old man loose on some trivia pursuit using the entire strength of the US?

[boonecreek]

7. What's next,

D. B. Cooper?

[PortTack]

18. Ha...good one! Ya know thou..If his pea brain is focused on that, it might give us a few days reprieve

[The Madcap]

8. Next will be

A massive hunt for the real origin of the Black Death or maybe the Ark of the Covenant. Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster? Elvis? He could bury the Epstein Files in King Tut's tomb.

[lonely bird]

9. Um

Not possible to care less about what happened to her.

This is a distraction, nothing more, nothing less.

[Ocelot II]

10. Not the Onion? And while they're at it, can they look for records relating to Judge Crater?

[CosmicSloth]

11. ...wait...

...didn't Caligula declare war on Neptune? Are we at that juncture?

The Epstein files must be really interesting damaging, or perhaps it is time to call in the butterfly net brigade.

[ificandream]

12. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein ....

Dumb Donald gotta give the maga doogies something else to think about.

[hadEnuf]

13. There is an expidition to Nikumaroro in the South Pacific in November 2025 planned.

They want to identify a satellite anomaly in the water that they think might be some wreckage from her plane. The theory is she may have emergency landed there while lost in 1937.

Maybe Trump wants to claim he finally found Amelia Earhart? Maybe Hoffa is next?

Anything to distract from Epstein.

[in2herbs]

14. The FBI employees were given a priority deadline of Wednesday to release govt records related to Earhart. Is this

the same Wednesday the Epstein survivors will be in Washington DC?

F45 must not have been able to establish another fly over to interrupt the Epstein survivors appearance in DC.

Coincidence?? I think not.

[Princess Turandot]

15. I hope they're searching for boxes in the restrooms in the Justice Department building's basement..

The FBI was located in the DoJ building from its establishment in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation, until it moved to its own building in 1975.

Earhart went missing in 1937, and was declared dead in 1939. The US Navy and Coast Guard searched for them for more than two weeks.

A short Pathe newsreel detailing her 1937 disappearance: it's a webm file so DU won't embed it, but it should open in a browser.

Perhaps Felony47 will next release the Jimmy Hoffa files. And the Bigfoot surveillance tapes.

[Talitha]

28. Al Capone's vault, too.

[area51]

16. Earhart.

[johnp3907]

17. Nice try.

[Bayard]

20. LOL!

[Hassler]

19. Maybe Julius Seizure thinks solving this mystery

Will get him a "Nobel" prize.

[Figarosmom]

21. Geez, does anyone really care?

So what if she was a spy a.nd maybe got shot down or may have been living a quite life somewhere. What's the point?



Epstein.

[Old Testament Libera]

22. MAGA thinks her plane was shot down...

...by ANTIFA! Time to prosecute and lock up some people who are already dead!

[truthisfreedom]

23. Spelled Epstein wrong again, for the Epsteinst time

At some point they have to start wondering about this nutter. Right? Hello?

[C Moon]

24. The U.S. is beginning to sound like The Caine Mutiny.

[Aussie105]

25. This smells like desperation!

Desperation, mingled with wet smelly diaper and a fear of the Big House.

It's not a mystery.

Amelia's plane went down over the ocean somewhere.
Not the first, not the last to do so.

RIP Amelia, but for crying out loud, Donald! Your desperation is out in the open for all to see.
Be a man!
The EPSTEIN FILES!!!! RELEASE THEM!!!! NOW!

[twodogsbarking]

26. What about me? Jimmy Hoffa.

[RazorbackExpat]

27. Eric Idle? John Cleese? Are you there?

Please tell me this is a lost sketch from Monty Python

[Paladin]

29. Thank God our national crime problem is a thing of the past.

Laughable and pathetic. Speaks volumes about trump's "thinking" at this point---that he would actually believe this is an effective Epstein dodge. Like I keep saying: he's handing the country back to us. All we need is forceful, effective, non-stop action by Democratic leadership.

[travelingthrulife]

30. He needs to be removed from office. This is on you, GOP.

[republianmushroom]

31. Must have distraction, now.

[durablend]

32. It's underneath the folder marked "EPSTEIN"

You're welcome.
