"CBS said it found at least 550 pages that were entirely redacted in the release, which arrived on Dec. 19, the deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. ...

CBS said the blackouts extended beyond fully redacted files. It reported that at least 180 completely obscured pages appeared inside files that were otherwise only partly redacted, sometimes following a cover page or other material that was not fully redacted."

At Least 550 Pages in New Epstein Records Were Fully Blacked Out

The Justice Department’s first release under a new transparency law drew criticism from Democrats as DOJ officials said the remaining material would come out “on a rolling basis.”

"The law permits limited withholding or redaction in certain circumstances, including to protect victims’ personally identifiable information, to withhold child sexual abuse material, and to temporarily withhold information that would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution if the withholding is narrowly tailored and temporary."

"It also requires that redactions be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress. And it calls for a list of government officials and politically exposed persons named or referenced in released materials that, under the law’s ban on redactions for political sensitivity, may not be withheld on that basis."

"CBS reported that some Friday redactions appeared to black out survivors’ names, but that it was not clear in every case why information was blacked out."

"[Attorney General Todd] Blanche asserted that the photo was taken down to protect the identity of the victims. [Kristen] Welker [of Meet the Press] astutely asked, 'So the women in the photo with Trump were victims?' Several hours later, the photo was restored online, with an explanation that it did not include any victims."

"The episode suggests that the DOJ intended to remove all photos of Trump. When a photo escaped notice of the reviewers, the DOJ retroactively withheld the photo until it was caught in the act of protecting Trump. The DOJ then had no choice but to release the photo—which had already been downloaded hundreds of times."
