"Today was the first day that members of Congress were allowed, under very strict conditions, to physically go to the Justice Department, where they were allowed to see unredacted versions of some Epstein documents. Judging by the reaction from members of Congress like Jamie Raskin, who took advantage of this opportunity today, members of Congress today seem just as frustrated as ever about what the Trump administration is doing and continues to do with all this Epstein-related material."
"There were to be no redactions in order to spare people embarrassment or political disgrace. We didn`t want there to be a cover up. And yet what I saw today was that there were lots of examples of people`s names being redacted when they were not victims, and so, we still haven`t gotten from the DOJ their privilege log explaining why certain redactions were made."
More than three million pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were released by the Department of Justice, and President Donald Trump appears thousands of times across the files. Current and former Trump associates such as Howard Lutnick, Steve Bannon, Elon Musk, John Phelan, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are named, and none have been criminally charged. Members of Congress were recently permitted under strict conditions to review unredacted versions of some documents and reported puzzling redactions of non-victims' names, including instances where Trump's name was redacted. The Justice Department has not provided a privilege log explaining the redactions, fueling congressional frustration and concern that significant revelations remain concealed while implicated figures remain in office and political life.
