Victims complain of death threats as government says it’s fixing redactions in Epstein-related files
AI Summary
The Justice Department withdrew thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein after complaints of improperly redacted information. Lawyers for nearly 100 victims told a New York judge that the release of unredacted or poorly obscured names, email addresses, and nude photos had upended their lives. The department attributed the errors to "technical or human error." U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton stated that the department removed materials flagged by victims or independently identified and is revising protocols for redacting documents. Victims' lawyers sought immediate judicial intervention after some victims received death threats due to the exposed information. The department aims to repost redacted versions of documents within 24 to 36 hours after evaluation.
