Two senior US lawmakers have said that at least six names remain redacted in recently released Justice Department files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, despite indications that the individuals may be implicated in criminal wrongdoing.
Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of California made the remarks on Monday after reviewing Epstein-related files at the Justice Department, following legislation they helped pass requiring the documents’ release.
Massie said the lawmakers had identified “at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files.”
In a couple of hours, we found six men whose names have been redacted who are implicated in the way that the files are presented.”
The lawmakers declined to identify the individuals, but said one appeared to be a senior official in a foreign government, while others were prominent figures.
