US EditionJustice Department says it’s taken down Epstein-related files that may have had victim information
The Justice Department removed thousands of documents after errors led to victim-identifying information being released, affecting 0.001% of materials, officials said.
- On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice removed several thousand documents and media that may have included victim-identifying information after releasing a new batch on Friday.
- Following reports of misredactions, the U.S. Department of Justice attributed the releases to technical or human error and revised review protocols after victims and their lawyers raised concerns.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday the department has addressed sporadic errors quickly and the affected material totals.001 percent, aiming to repost redacted versions within 24 to 36 hours.
- The defense argues the public releases branded the Alexander brothers with a toxic association, and Deanna Paul said the government has destroyed the possibility of a fair trial.
- At least one of the withdrawn documents referencing the Alexander brothers has been removed, and remaining releases are primarily tied to civil litigation that might require a judge's approval.
