DOJ Reveals Redactions in Epstein Files to Lawmakers
The Justice Department informs lawmakers about redactions in Epstein-related files, listing high-profile names amid expanding international probes.
The U.S. Justice Department has sent a formal letter to lawmakers detailing how Epstein-related files were redacted, including a general description of the types of redactions and a list of notable figures mentioned in the materials. The letter aims to illuminate what has been withheld as part of ongoing investigations. It notes that high-profile individuals or politically exposed persons are referenced in the files even if they had no direct interactions with Epstein or his longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, and that some names appear only in press clippings or other sources. The communication is addressed to the leaders of the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, but it does not specify the contexts in which any particular name appears.
