US justice department releases heavily redacted cache of Jeffrey Epstein files
AI Summary
The US Justice Department has released a heavily redacted cache of documents related to its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, dating back to 2006. The released files include images of Epstein socializing with prominent figures like Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Prince Andrew. The DOJ plans to release further documents on a rolling basis, but has redacted identifying details of over 1,200 victims and their families. Congressional Democrats are criticizing the Trump administration for not fully complying with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandated the release of all unclassified records by December 19th. Concerns are focused on the extent of redactions and the lack of explanation for them. The law also requires the release of materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of aiding Epstein's sex trafficking.
