"For months, the federal government has faltered in its attempt to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the bipartisan bill signed by President Donald Trump that mandated the full release of the Justice Department's enormous trove of documents and media related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The Trump administration blew past the congressionally mandated deadline and is staggering its Epstein releases, dropping millions of pages in batches that have included some problematic redactions along with the expected disturbing revelations."
"A Wall Street Journal analysis found that the Justice Department failed to redact the full names of 43 victims in Friday's file release. The Journal reported that some of the women's names appeared more than 100 times throughout the batch of documents. Of the victims left exposed, the Journal reports that the names of more than two dozen minor victims were unredacted and some were accompanied by identifying information including home addresses."
Federal agencies missed the Epstein Files Transparency Act deadline and released millions of pages in staggered batches with inconsistent redactions and troubling disclosures. A recent tranche of more than 3 million pages and 180,000 images included unredacted full names of 43 victims, with some names appearing repeatedly and more than two dozen minors' names exposed alongside identifying details such as home addresses. The release also published at least 40 images showing nude young women with unredacted faces, some on Epstein's properties; many images were later removed after being flagged. Survivors' lawyers requested that the DOJ clearinghouse be taken offline, alleging privacy violations.
