The Department of Justice is working to fix redaction errors in recently released Jeffrey Epstein files that led to the exposure of survivors' personal information, including names, IDs, and emails. Lawyers representing survivors reported the errors and the DOJ agreed to correct them. The errors have raised concerns about victim protection and prompted criticism from lawmakers.
The Department of Justice is now agreeing to correct redaction errors in its latest batch of files connected to Jeffrey Epstein , according to lawyers representing survivors of the convicted sex offender.
One of those lawyers told a judge that after discussions with the DOJ, they 'trust that the deficiencies will be corrected expeditiously and in a manner that meaningfully protects victims from further harm.'Lawyers previously said more than 100 women had their names made public after the DOJ released more than 3.5 million pages on Friday. And there have been thousands of instances of survivors' personal information being made public.'Names, IDs, emails. All sorts of personal information was out there,' said survivor Lisa Phillips.
