Trump’s DOJ gaff appears to have allowed Epstein files to be unredacted: “the most SHOCKING”
Brian and Ed Krassenstein have been posting the information that was hidden in plain sight.
An apparent procedural blunder by the Department of Justice under Donald Trump is being seized upon online after claims that portions of recently released Jeffrey Epstein court records can be “unredacted” with little more than a copy-and-paste.
The allegation gained traction on X when commentator Ed Krassenstein posted what he says are readable passages beneath blacked-out text in the DOJ release. According to Krassenstein, the redactions were applied in a way that still allows the underlying text to be revealed by highlighting and pasting it into another document. If accurate, it would represent a basic document-handling failure with potentially serious implications.
Below are the posts referenced, along with an explainer from Ed.
