US EditionEpstein Files: DoJ Under Fire over Redactions Contradicting Trump's Claims
Unredacted emails reveal Epstein was a guest at Mar-a-Lago and never asked to leave, contradicting Trump's claim he barred Epstein, according to Representative Jamie Raskin.
- On Tuesday, Representative Jamie Raskin said unredacted DOJ emails show Jeffrey Epstein `was a guest at Mar-a-Lago and had never been asked to leave`, contradicting President Donald Trump.
- Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department was ordered to release documents with limited redactions, and Raskin reviewed 30 to 40 unredacted files at the DOJ satellite office using four computers.
- Raskin said the emails showed communications between Epstein's lawyers and Trump's legal team around 2009, and he does not claim illegality but calls the context relevant for public knowledge.
- The Justice Department has declined public comment while calls grow for review, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, enabling scrutiny of the redactions.
- Raskin warns that if his account is accurate, the discrepancy could reshape assessments of past statements and suggests redactions may undermine DOJ transparency norms.
