The Justice Department released thousands of new records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, but at least 550 pages in the documents are fully redacted, CBS News has found.
The newly released files included photos of several prominent people in Epstein’s orbit, images from his homes and investigative records that detail disturbing allegations against the late sex offender. But the heavy redactions in many of the records have drawn criticism from Democrats and some Republicans, as the department defends its handling of the files.
One series of three consecutive documents — totaling 255 pages — is entirely redacted, with each page covered by a black box. A fourth 119-page document labeled “Grand Jury-NY” is also entirely redacted. It’s unclear what proceedings it stemmed from, but the document listed immediately before it is a transcript in which a prosecutor asks a grand jury in 2020 to consider evidence for a superseding indictment of Epstein’s convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.
They told everyone they would redact it to protect the victims. But they think the rapists and traffickers are the victims.
You don’t understand! Epstein told them no one would find out that they were raping children. He lied to them, so they’re victims too!

Consequences? But i’m rich!
Did anyone expect something else?
They’re all related to Trump and they’re all really bad. That’s the only way to interpret this.
I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.
Honestly, did we expect anything else?
I often found myself asking that; what’s left of the original files by now? If they were damning for people up top, surely those parts would’ve been removed by now, either “legally” redacted or otherwise tampered with.
Unless we pried them from Epstein’s dead, nasty hands I’d find it a little hard to trust anything in there, redacted or not.
And how many idiots printed those pages?
Check if Pam bought some stock of toner producers. Wouldn’t be surprised.
Haha… they ran outta time redacting trump and friends and just blacked out whole pages… ‘blanket redacting’ if you will… these assholes aren’t even really trying to hide it.
I don’t understand what Trump is afraid of. It could have pictures of him in the act and he wouldn’t stop being president, stop being rich and lose many if any supporters. He wouldn’t go to jail or anything and we’d all just be mad for nothing exactly like we are now.
As long as the majority holds on to hope that the very system that protects these monsters will somehow punish them the longer it absolutely won’t. We’re mad but not mad enough.
His supporters are having a tough time swallowing the child raping so the admin is a bit nervous.
Don’t worry though with enough time and Fox News / podcasts they will unhinge their jaw and get it down eventually.
Yeah and isn’t it crazy that you can find pics of Clinton but I haven’t seen any of Trump in there? Interesting.
Think I read there were 109 mentions of Clinton and only two of Trump. Smart not to make it zero, I guess.

Presumably missed like this one was.
This looks like the actions of Big Toner. How to spur more sales.
Why the hell does that video autoplay on mobile?
Who’s got a fax number for the DOJ?
Think before you print this email!
