The DOJ claimed its Epstein file redactions protect victims and law enforcement names. A judge wants the evidence by July 30
Judge Emmet Sullivan said the Justice Department must justify redactions with unredacted records after Congress required broader Epstein file disclosure.
- On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered the Trump Justice Department to submit unredacted Epstein-related documents for private court review by 3:00 p.m. ET on July 30.
- Attorney Katie Phang's lawsuit challenged the administration's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed by Congress last year, arguing the government improperly redacted records.
- Disputed records include a 2007 draft indictment naming potential co-conspirators, FBI interview notes regarding allegations against President Donald Trump, and emails potentially discussing minors.
- Sullivan directed the department to stop explaining redactions and start proving them through unredacted documents delivered to his chambers for "in camera" review. Phang also requested a $1,000 daily fine for non-compliance.
- After the July 30 deadline, Sullivan will decide whether to order public disclosure or allow the administration to appeal—a process potentially delaying release for months.
