The Justice Department has removed thousands of documents from the Epstein files database on its website due to concerns over the inadvertent inclusion of victim-identifying information.
The move comes after the DOJ released its latest mass trove of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday. The release uploaded over 3 million more pages to the DOJ database and included over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, according to the agency. In accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ is permitted to withhold or redact portions of the documents that “contain personally identifiable information of victims.”
