Lawyers for victims of Jeffrey Epstein are asking federal judges to order the Justice Department to take down millions of Epstein-related documents released online, citing widespread failures to protect victims’ identities, according to CNN.
In a letter sent Sunday to Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, attorneys Brittany Henderson and Brad Edwards said the document release created an “unfolding emergency.”
Todd Blanche: "Apparently Massie and others wrote a letter to come and review un-redacted materials. I didn't get that letter yet; they leaked it to the press before they actually sent it to me…We have nothing to hide."

They reported thousands of redaction errors, including repeated disclosures of minor victims’ names and unredacted FBI records.
The lawyers said the mistakes have exposed survivors to harassment, media pressure, and death threats. Several anonymous victims warned the disclosures have put them and their families at risk.
The U.S. Department of Justice said it has removed documents flagged by victims and is conducting further reviews to address additional redaction issues.
Attorneys argue the harm was preventable and are urging immediate court action to protect survivors from further exposure.
