US EditionEpstein's Alleged Victims Accuse DOJ of Legal Violations over State of Files Released
Alleged Epstein victims say DOJ released files with incomplete redactions and exposed survivor identities, violating legal protections and causing harm to more than 200 survivors' privacy.
- On Friday, the Department of Justice posted thousands of files to meet a congressional deadline but said it would not fully release all material, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche adding more will be produced as reviews continue.
- A group of alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein said the DOJ violated the law by releasing only a fraction of files with extreme redactions and 119 fully blacked-out grand jury minutes, causing harm.
- Some documents were reposted early Saturday with changes, and attorneys Brittany Henderson and Brad Edwards said a sealed civil-litigation document naming more than two dozen alleged victims was posted unredacted.
- Attorneys worked with federal officials through the weekend and by Sunday about 15 documents had been pulled, while the Department of Justice said it will re-release material with appropriate redactions.
- There remain hundreds of thousands of pages unreleased, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the statute requiring victim protections justifies ongoing DOJ reviews.
