Congressman reveals what he saw in the unredacted Epstein files - CNN

[TexasTowelie]

Members of Congress began reviewing unredacted versions of the Jeffrey Epstein files that are in the Justice Department’s possession.

====================

Here are the key points from the video:

• Congressional members reviewed unredacted Epstein files and found evidence of a worldwide sex trafficking ring with coconspirators in multiple countries (Paris, Russia, Czech Republic) sourcing young girls for Jeffrey Epstein

• At least six men's names were improperly redacted in the documents, according to Representatives Massie and Khanna, with no legitimate explanation for their concealment

• Massive over-redaction concerns: Despite the Epstein Files Transparency Act limiting redactions to victim information and active investigations, 70-80% of documents remained redacted, including key witness statements

• Ghislaine Maxwell invoked Fifth Amendment during House Oversight testimony but offered to speak "fully and honestly" only in exchange for clemency from President Trump - lawmakers called this a quid pro quo

• Questions about Maxwell's prison transfer: She was moved from maximum security prison by Deputy AG Todd Blanche, with no clear explanation provided to Congress

• Documents were pre-redacted by FBI in March before being sent to Justice Department, and lawmakers argue these redactions need to be reversed to comply with the transparency law

1. Congressmen get a lot of credit for pushing on this matter

Rep. Massey, Rep. Khanna, Rep, Moskowitz

Release of the information is being throttled at various points. The redactions in two time frames, and 4 computers for all of Congress. Two hours he said. That's another choke point.
