The US Department of Justice has moved to block a federal judge's order compelling it to unredact key documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files, filing formal notice of an appeal on Monday, 24 August 2026.
The filing sets up a legal fight over records that include email exchanges referencing a 'torture video' and FBI interview notes tied to a woman who has made allegations against President Donald Trump, which he has denied, according to the DOJ's court filing.
