Justice Dept Must Unredact Epstein Files

A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to release unredacted Epstein documents—or explain why they can’t, by July 2nd. The files include emails referencing a “torture video,” interview notes involving Trump, and a draft indictment with names blacked out—alongside a full log of every redaction made. Journalist Katie Phang sued, arguing the government’s secrecy violates FOIA by shielding powerful figures. Judge Emmet Sullivan sided with Phang, calling the government’s claims of privacy protection baseless and shutting down their appeal attempt. This could finally expose Epstein’s network—and is a major win for transparency. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
