US EditionUS Justice Dept opens unredacted Epstein files to lawmakers
- On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice opened the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files for review by members of Congress following the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
- Amid concerns about excessive redactions, lawmakers say the Justice Department redacted names beyond protecting victims numbering more than 1,000, and Ro Khanna, Democrat from California, questioned redactions in more than three million documents.
- Examples in the unredacted files include the blacked-out sender of the January 17, 2013 email and the redacted sender of the March 11, 2014 email, plus the message reading `New Brazilian just arrived, sexy and cute, =9yo,`.
- Lawmakers intensified calls for accountability after Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin said Monday the Justice Department is in "cover-up mode" and members of Congress demanded Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's resignation.
- With prosecutions unlikely, lawmakers focused on the Justice Department's stance and Maxwell's testimony from prison on Monday, refusing questions without a clemency offer from President Donald Trump.
