The Department of Justice (DOJ) just announced that it will give Congress access to the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files starting Monday. This is a satisfying result of the outcry following the DOJ’s choices about what information to redact, shielding the identities of powerful people mentioned in the documents while failing to protect the victims.
The Hill reported that Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis confirmed the plan in a letter sent to all 535 members of Congress. Davis wrote that the department is “making unredacted versions of the more than 3 million pages of publicly released documents available for review by both houses of Congress starting Monday.”
