Justice Department Unveils Epstein Files

The U.S. Department of Justice sent a letter to lawmakers detailing redactions in files related to Jeffrey Epstein. The letter describes the types of redactions and lists notable figures mentioned, even if only in press clippings, but lacks context for these mentions.

The U.S. Department of Justice has issued a letter to lawmakers focusing on the redactions within the files of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The communication is mandated by law, according to a Saturday report by Politico.

The letter provides a broad overview of redaction types and includes a list of notable personalities referenced in the files. Many of these high-profile figures, or 'politically exposed persons,' were mentioned in sources like press clippings, even without direct interactions with Epstein or his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. However, the document does not clarify the context in which these names are mentioned.

The Justice Department did not offer an immediate response to a request for further comments on the matter.
