Despite the Justice Department’s claim that releasing the Epstein files was meant to ensure full transparency, lawmakers say that newly unredacted documents confirm three key players in the records – which also identifies the high-profile individual who received an email from Epstein that read, “I loved the torture video.”
After pressure from lawmakers who reviewed previously hidden records, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has started releasing more details from its vast collection of Epstein-related documents – about 3.5 million pages in total.
Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky told CNN that the DOJ had “improperly redacted” the names of several people that the FBI labeled conspirators in 2019, drawing renewed attention to Epstein’s powerful connections.
“What I saw that bothered me were the names of at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files, Massie said, adding “it took some digging to find them.”
