A top House Democrat on Monday accused the justice department of making “mysterious redactions” to documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that obscured the names of abusers, while also allowing the identities of the disgraced financier’s victims to become public.
Jamie Raskin, House judiciary ranking member, criticized the department after reviewing the unredacted Epstein files at a government facility in Washington DC on the first day they were made available to lawmakers.
Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress in November, the justice department has publicly released millions of files related to Epstein, who socialized with prominent global elites including Donald Trump and died in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The measure allows for the files to be redacted in limited circumstances, such as to protect the name of Epstein’s victims, but some of the documents made public have nonetheless included identifying details.
Trump is in there 38,000 times, and that’s after the cover up? Christ!
“I went over there, and I was able to determine, at least I believe, that there were tons of completely unnecessary redactions, in addition to the failure to redact the names of victims, and so that was troubling to us,” Raskin told reporters.
He accused the justice department of being “in a cover-up mode” and breaking the law.
No shit…what the fuck?
An official confirming it on record is not insignificant
Except it’s a Democrat doing it, so nothing will happen
