https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/doj-redacted-names-of-politically-exposed-individuals-in-epstein-files-report/The Department of Justice redacted the names of government officials and “politically exposed individuals” in its latest release of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.The Department of Justice posted documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act on its website Friday afternoon in accordance with the midnight deadline set by the statute signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.Many viewers reacted with disgust over the amount of blacked-out information within the almost four thousand files, despite Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s claim that the administration was attempting to protect “every single victim.”However, a recent report on the document dump from Fox News Digital notes that the redactions were put in place to protect more than just Epstein’s victims and accusers.“The Justice Department redacted the names and identifiers of victims. Fox News Digital has learned that the same redaction standards were applied to politically exposed individuals and government officials,” read the report.Fox News Digital also attached a letter from Blanche addressed to members of Congress regarding the review process of files.Blanche claims that blacked-out information included any evidence that could jeopardize pending investigations and any information deemed to be in the interest of national defense or foreign policy. Further information could be redacted if it fell under legally protected privilege.Information that may pertain to Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recently opened investigation into Epstein’s past associations could seemingly be redacted under these restrictions.This crucial distinction relating to the information actually released comes amid a wave of outrage over the lack of transparency in the files.
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), who co-sponsored the bill to release the files, have both said that the DOJ’s documents fail to follow the law Trump himself signed.“The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by@RepThomasMassie and me,” he wrote. “One document, 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, was completely redacted.”Massie agreed, writing, “Unfortunately, today’s document release by @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law that @realDonaldTrump signed just 30 days ago. @RepRoKhanna is correct.”Blanche’s letter stated that the full review of documents would likely be completed “over the next two weeks” and “the Department will provide an explanation for any redacted and withheld materials as part of this production.”
>>1467654Which was specifically forbidden by the order lmao. Bondi and Blanche are fucked.
>files are redacted to protect rich and powerful pedosSasuga, uncle sam.
>>1467656>Bondi and Blanche are fucked.They serve at the pleasure of the president. No they aren't.
>>1467658They can be removed by congress. Republicans know they will get fucking demolished for DECADES for the scandal if they don't do something now that the public uproar is going to hit its peak. If they don't vote to at minimum impeach her now, they know the democrat wave that comes during the midterm will. It's the only real way they save face right now.
Without a mass protest, nothing will occur. Trump is essentially king, he cannot commit a crime, and R controls all branches. There is literally nothing to do. They released all black pages and that's their middle finger and that's that.
>>1467659congress hasnt done a fucking thing in 11 months.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY4) on X:>EFTA states: “(b) Prohibited Grounds for Withholding.—(1) No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.”>Attorney General Pam Bondi is withholding specific documents that the law required her to release by today.>A future DOJ could convict the current AG and others because the Epstein Files Transparency Act is not like a Congressional Subpoena which expires at the end of each Congress.https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/2002175357277921449https://x.com/RepThomasMassie/status/2002217475010662727
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) tells Kaitlan Collins he is considering filing articles of impeachment against Attorney General Pam Bondi, as the Justice Department fails to release all Epstein Files as required by the law he helped write. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/12/19/politics/video/src-ro-khanna-articles-of-impeachment-against-pam-bondi
>>1467663If they get arrested, Trump will pardon them. It's checkmate. There is nothing to do.
Seems like the latest left wing nothingburger is proceeding as expected
>>1467666>Exposure and confirmation the DOJ is actively covering up for pedophiles, which it seems all but stated includes the president, even in the face of a direct order from congress>Nothingburger
>>1467666>Release was demanded by right wing podcasters and Republican base>Release was filed by Republican congressman>Signed by Trump>News of redactions of "politically exposed individuals" comes from Fox NewsYep blatantly a left wing hoax
>>1467659>They can be removed by congressBut they won't be because this is the same Congress that blocked this shit for months. If the DoJ is covering for pedos then Republicans in Congress must have been too, and Republicans in Congress would never find that they themselves did that.

>>1467719The Supreme Court said no one could release it back then. They didn't lift the order until Trump was president again.
>>1467720No they didn't you retard.
>>1467721Yes they did.https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/why-were-epstein-files-not-released-biden/>The Epstein case was an open criminal investigation during the Biden administration, Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown explained on social media. Brown’s extensive reporting since 2017 has shone a light on the crimes of Epstein and his longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Her book about Epstein, titled “Perversions of Justice,” is a New York Times bestseller.>“They had an open grand jury. … And even after Maxwell’s conviction, the case was on appeal — anyone in law enforcement knows you don’t open your case file when it’s still under appeal,” Brown added.>Victims were still going to the FBI with information during Biden’s term, but that changed when President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice reviewed the files and closed the case in July, Brown said.
>>1467658>I was just following muh orders Yeah let’s see how well that defence holds in court lol
