US lawmakers say files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were improperly redacted ahead of their release by the Department of Justice (DOJ). Members of Congress on Monday were allowed to begin a review of the unredacted versions of the approximately three million pages of files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA) since December. The core issue is that they're not complying with... my law, because these were scrubbed back in March by Donald Trump's FBI, Democratic Representative Ro Khanna told MS NOW. At least one document has been unredacted since the lawmakers' complaint, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stating on X, The DOJ is committed to transparency. Concerns over the redactions were raised after lawyers for Epstein's victims reported that the files included sensitive information potentially identifying victims. Survivors described the disclosures as outrageous and called for protecting their identities. The DOJ acknowledged errors, attributing them to technical or human error. After reviewing the documents, lawmakers noted that several names were redacted while only Epstein’s and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell's remained. Khanna emphasized the need for a thorough review, asserting that the public deserves to know the identities of those implicated in Epstein's crimes. Following backlash, the DOJ has committed to releasing more names while maintaining the anonymity of Epstein's victims.
