Noam Chomsky Advised Epstein About 'Horrible' Media Coverage, Files Show

The DOJ released millions of pages with redactions aimed at protecting survivors but faced criticism from victims and lawyers for exposing personal information amid unverified email access claims.

  • On Friday, the US Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein's investigations, including identifying photos that survivors criticized.
  • Under a law requiring disclosure, the US Department of Justice published Epstein-related records, applying redactions to comply with court orders and protect survivors of abuse.
  • In one widely shared thread, a user alleged a working Outlook password '#1Island' appeared and an inbox held a 20 June 2019 email from 'Jermaine Ruan', but journalists and DOJ officials say these claims remain unverified.
  • Survivors condemned the release and called the response inadequate, while the US Department of Justice said in a court filing on Monday it was removing victim-identifying documents and by Tuesday had taken down all flagged files.
  • The release renewed scrutiny of Epstein's ties to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and Peter Mandelson, while survivors and advocates warn naming them risks harassment and deters reporting.
