CNN Reporter Rips Trump DOJ For Releasing Unredacted Nude Photos in Epstein Files: Really Egregious'

"The people in the photos appeared to be young, although it was unclear whether they were minors. Some of the images seemed to show Mr. Epstein's private island, including a beach. Others were taken in bedrooms and other private spaces. The images appeared to show at least seven different people, although The Times did not seek to identify them, the report added."

"Holmes commented Monday, I mean, this is really egregious. According to The New York Times, they went through these millions of documents and found at least 40 images, nude images that included no redactions, included faces, Holmes said. They seem to be part of Epstein's personal file. And since then, the Department of Justice has taken them down after they were flagged to them by The New York Times. But of course, how long were they up there before they came down?"

"The Justice Department takes victim protection very seriously and has redacted thousands of victims names in the millions of pages to protect the innocent. The department had 500 reviewers looking at millions of pages for this very reason to meet the requirement of the Act while protecting victims. When a victim's name is alleged to be unredacted, our team is working around the clock to fix the issue and republish appropriately redacted pages as soon as possible."

Dozens of nude photographs of young women or possibly minors were present among released Epstein-related documents, some showing faces and private locations such as a private island, beaches, bedrooms, and other private spaces. The images appeared to include at least seven different individuals and seemed to be part of Epstein's personal file. After the images were identified and flagged, the Department of Justice removed them from the released records. The department stated that thousands of victim names were redacted, that roughly 500 reviewers examined millions of pages, and that approximately 0.1% of released pages contained unredacted victim-identifying information. Even a small percentage can expose victims unwilling to be publicly associated with the material.
