"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. As scores of viewers began to sift through the latest document dump numbering almost four thousand files many reacted with outrage over the amount of blacked out information."
"I expect that we're going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks, so today, several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more, Blanche said. There's a lot of eyes looking at these and we want to make sure that when we do produce the materials we are producing, that we are protecting every single victim."
The Department of Justice posted nearly four thousand documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act by the statute's midnight deadline. Many documents contained extensive blacked-out information, prompting public outrage. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said redactions were necessary to protect victims and announced staggered additional releases totaling several hundred thousand pages over the coming weeks. Conservative critics, including Bill Kristol, called the redactions unacceptable and urged Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie to demand reconvening the House to press for fuller disclosure. Observers questioned whether the administration's redactions unnecessarily obscured material of public interest. The debate centers on balancing victim privacy with government transparency.
