I am not betting the ranch on Data that is "Inflation-adjusted" via CPI-U. Those are adjusted numbers, not the actual numbers. Why not just use the actual numbers unless you are trying to make someone look better or worse?

They're the actual numbers. They don't use inflation-adjusted numbers to state the debt.
If they did, they'd be saying the debt in 1980 was $3.6 Billion, and not the $900 Million they state it as, and so on.

They might use inflation adjustments to make valid comparisons of data (like when they compare the cost of a car today versus 20 years ago), but you can see the actual figures and do the comparison math to verify:

U.S. National Debt by Year

The U.S. national debt is the total of what the federal government owes creditors. The U.S. has always carried debt, but the total has expanded rapidly since 2008.

Of course someone like Mr Altman is confused and wont stand on the ground he occupies so to speak. People without basic morals have nothing to gauge behavior against.
Its almost like a toddler stealing from the cookie jar and not being caught.

I don't remember them being concerned about the Epstein files a year or two. I wonder what changed.

Former federal prosecutor calls out Trump’s DOJ for refusing to release Epstein Files

One of the original reasons for stopping the release of the Epstein files throughout multiple administrations was because Ghislaine Maxwell’s case was still being considered by the Supreme Court. Now that Justices declined to hear her case, there are fewer legal obstacles preventing the release...
