Lawmakers Push DOJ to Unredact Epstein Files Amid Redaction Controversy

U.S. lawmakers reviewing Epstein-related materials released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act say the DOJ posted unredacted files with improper redactions, alleging the FBI scrubbed documents in March to hide names of potential co-conspirators and victims’ identities. The DOJ defends its edits, saying non‑victim names were unredacted and that it remains committed to transparency as lawmakers continue the review of roughly three million pages.
