House Judiciary ranking member Jamie Raskin has accused the Department of Justice of making unnecessary redactions to Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. After viewing unredacted files, Raskin stated that the redactions obscured the names of abusers while failing to protect the identities of Epstein's victims. Raskin plans to question Attorney General Pam Bondi about the redaction process and the "flawed results." This development comes amidst a report indicating a decline in the United States' global ranking for perceived corruption, falling to its lowest score ever. The report also identified an overall global deterioration in perceived corruption levels.
