Our law says that the FBI and the original grand jury needs to be unredacted. Of course, they have been protecting some of these men. Maybe it was not intentionally, but the law is very clear.

Analysis of newly released Epstein documents showed that the FBI found little evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was running a sex trafficking ring for powerful individuals. Here with the details is Daily Wire reporter Amanda Prestigiacomo. So Amanda, this new reporting has been unexpected. Some people are still skeptical. First, let's start with these apparent FBI findings. What did they reveal?

0

184.751 - 201.606 Georgia Howe

Yeah, so analysis of millions of documents that were just recently released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed by Trump in November. The FBI apparently found insufficient evidence that Epstein was operating a sex trafficking ring that involved other wealthy or influential

201.586 - 221.991 Georgia Howe

So these media reports do say that documents indicate that photos and video seeds during the investigation do reveal abuse by Epstein and longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell. But while these files confirm Epstein sexually abused underage girls, there was not enough evidence to prove that he supplied minors to other powerful men.

222.712 - 242.808 Georgia Howe

Basically, feds couldn't find enough evidence for federal charges despite referrals to local law enforcement about allegations of abuse. Now, to be clear, these conclusions are based on media reporting of newly released DOJ and FBI documents, like internal memos, and the DOJ has not independently issued a statement confirming these findings.

243.409 - 248.4 John Bickley

Now, not everyone is satisfied with these findings. What are the main complaints?

248.498 - 269.055 Georgia Howe

Yes, some politicians and commentators, they say that there are just far too many redactions and not enough of these documents have been released. Both Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massey, they've voiced these concerns. They want to know if redacted or unreleased documents contain any client lists or other information about Epstein's

269.035 - 284.057 Georgia Howe

working on behalf of a foreign government or intelligence service. The DOJ says that many documents just could not be released to the public for a number of reasons, including victim privacy. Here's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch explaining.

284.037 - 306.72 Unknown

Categories of documents withheld include those permitted under the Act to be withheld. Files that contain personally identifiable information of victims or victims' personal and medical files. Child pornography was obviously excluded. Anything that would jeopardize an active federal investigation. And finally, anything that depicts or contain images of death, physical abuse, or injury.
