Rep. Raskin: "I think the Department of Justice has been in cover-up mode for many months"

Unredacted Files: Trump's name was mentioned over 1,000,000 times.

This is a flagrant violation of the Epstein Transparency Act,

The House Judiciary Committee member reviewed some unredacted Epstein files Monday — and came away troubled.

“I was able to determine, at least I believe, that there were tons of unnecessary redactions in addition to the failure to redact the names of victims. And so that’s troubling to us,” he said. “I saw the names of lots of people who were redacted for mysterious or baffling or inscrutable reasons.”

“I think the Department of Justice has been in cover-up mode for many months and has been trying to sweep the entire thing under the rug,” he warned, noting he’d only had time Monday morning to review 30 or 40 documents of the 3 million that have so far been released.

Even then, the 3 million documents account for only about half of the DOJ’s entire file on Epstein.

“We need to be investigating the money, we need to be investigating the organizational hierarchy,” Raskin said. “There’s no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes.”

After Tom Massie questioned why a name was blacked out, Todd Blanche unredacted it.

“He unredacted it after I found it. That’s a problem.”

Translation: the DOJ wasn’t being cautious — it was hiding names until caught.

Breaking MS NOW:

Some of the Epstein docs the DOJ invited members of Congress to view are STILL redacted, despite promises otherwise.

Raskin says DOJ's reading room has just four computers. It would take seven years to get through the files in the current conditions established by the DOJ.
