Democrats Decry "Heavily Redacted" Epstein Files Release

Democratic lawmakers expressed sharp frustration on Friday over the newly released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. They argue the files contain too many blacked-out, or redacted, pages. This level of secrecy, they claim, violates the rules set by the recent Epstein Files Transparency Act. The lawmakers warned that hiding so much information could fuel more conspiracy theories about the Epstein case. The long-awaited release, they said, provided "no major revelations" due to the extensive redactions.
