Thousands of Epstein documents taken down after victims identified
AI Summary
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) released around three million documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation on Friday, but subsequently removed thousands of files after victims' identities were compromised. Lawyers for the victims stated that the unredacted files, which included email addresses and nude photos, exposed nearly 100 survivors and violated their privacy. The DOJ acknowledged the errors were due to "technical or human error" and removed the flagged files for further redaction. Victims and their lawyers are calling the disclosure "outrageous" and requested a federal judge to order the DOJ to take down the website hosting the files. The DOJ is continuing to examine new requests and check for other documents needing redaction, as mandated by Congress.
