The Trump Administration was hit with sharp criticism over the amount of redacted information in the newly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Friday.

The Department of Justice posted documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act on its website Friday afternoon in accordance with the midnight deadline set by the statute signed into law by President Donald Trump last month.

As scores of viewers began to sift through the latest document dump– numbering almost four thousand files– many reacted with outrage over the amount of blacked out information. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones that the level of blackout was necessary to protect victims, blaming the Trump administration’s failure to release all of the files in time for the deadline on the need for redactions.

“I expect that we’re going to release more documents over the next couple of weeks, so today, several hundred thousand, and then over the next couple weeks, I expect several hundred thousand more,” Blanche said. “There’s a lot of eyes looking at these and we want to make sure that when we do produce the materials we are producing, that we are protecting every single victim.” Blanche’s reasoning proved unconvincing to many.

1. Secured confirmation that shithole is.....

guilty.

There is no doubt. His DOJ is a serious concern of the security of the USA and her people.

2. Without a doubt!!

[oasis]

3. This sham won't play, Epstein ain't going away.

……..let the squirming continue

[Bengus81]

20. I know dipshit Don doesn't read but he should read everything about Watergate.

That was nothing compared to Epstein and it wouldn't go away.

[Martin Eden]

4. "necessary to protect victims" -- the primary victim being Donald Trump...

... plus other rich perverts who are the targets of this witch hunt hoax.

Does anyone doubt for even one second that's who's being protected here, or that Bondi will gladly do whatever Trump wants including violate the law and lie her ass off?

How about asking the real victims who were sex trafficked as young women if they WANT to be "protected" by all these redactions after pleading for justice all these years?

I was not hoping this "release" of files would damage Trump or anyone he wants to protect (especially himself) because I knew it simply was not going to happen.

Litigation over this will continue for years, and justice for the real victims will be delayed, perhaps indefinitely -- at least while Trump is in office and the Supreme Court is on his side.

10. Litigation over this will continue for years

People often wonder how could he get away with all the criminal shit he's pulled in his lifetime and this is the answer. He knows how to work the legal system probably learning it from his criminal father, and he had the wealth to do it. He uses and has always used intimidation and fear to get people to stay silent much like the mob did.

I am quite sure some of the remaining victims are still afraid to speak out or if they did in the past weren't believed. I will always wonder if Virginia actually took her own life.

[Martin Eden]

11. That's how he got away with stiffing so many contractors

They couldn't afford the legal fees in cases that could stretch for years.

[llmart]

19. Yet I know one guy who did some contracting work for him in NY...

lost his job over it, and he said he still voted for him.

[Martin Eden]

21. Maybe he had more hate in his heart for the same people The Felon hates

Or he's just helplessly mired in the cult.

[llmart]

22. I think he's one those who can't admit he was wrong.

There's always going to be a core group of them that don't want to face the truth that they were bamboozled by a con man.

[ck4829]

5. Vile cover-up.

[Dave Id]

6. Trump was counting on...

the MAGA morons who voted for him wouldn't notice the redaction's. Guess he was wrong, even they're pissed off about it.

[usonian]

7. One little forgotten redaction tells the entire story.

[LymphocyteLover]

8. we only got 10% of the material and even that is heavily redacted! The whole thing is a sick joke

[JohnnyRingo]

9. when this administration says "We'll have that in a couple weeks"....

They mean "shut up and go away".
Over and over.

[Cheezoholic]

12. I have always been skeptical of whether they contain anything incriminating of the Orange Turd. But I'm beginning

to wonder. Are they using these things as a distraction, evidence to use to extort some rich and powerful people or world leaders, protecting powerful repukes or donors? Or is there really something in there that incriminates and disgraces (as if you could anymore) this asshole? My view is beginning to shift there. If Maxwell walks it's a certainty IMO.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. All of the above.

His dealings go back over 30 years and the court cases finally began in earnest, some 20 years ago (under Shrub) - https://www.npr.org/2025/07/25/nx-s1-5478620/jeffrey-epstein-crimes-timeline-legal-case

45 was dealing with him since back in the late '80s, including during the time when he owned the Miss Universe pageant franchise (which also included Miss USA & Miss Teen USA), which he bought in 1996, and held until 2015. So imagine the overlap.

16. Also, the magnificently corrupt Pam Bondi was AG in Florida from 2011-2019.

What did she know and when did she know it.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Which makes her initial assertion at the beginning of 45's term

about "having (the files) 'on her desk' ) so absurd. Cosplaying to satisfy the loon base and now trapped in a corner.

[Cheezoholic]

23. Yes and if you dig into the intelligence rabbit hole of all of this it turns into a 5k page Ludlum novel

It's very possible FatAss's friendship with Epstein led directly to the allegations of him being recruited by the KGB. Epstein's illicit sex ring could very well have been a global "honey pot" that was utilized by Israel (via Maxwells father) the US, UK and KGB. While it is all conjecture there's plenty of believable associations out there. A putrid stew of the worst aspects of global geopolitics. Just sayin'


FF!!!

[travelingthrulife]

15. No way Trump would pass up on that kind of money

We need to see Epstein's business records. I think Trump was a partner in Epstein's sex trafficking business.

[travelingthrulife]

14. Blanche belongs in jail

Let the victim's family lawyer release their unredacted copy then.

[BOSSHOG]

17. TRUMP IS GUILTY. PERIOD.

Bondi is conducting a criminal charade. The deadline was Friday. Your CO set a deadline to submit a report by last Wednesday. Come Wednesday, You say Yo Skipper I need a couple more weeks. Please share with us his response.

Bondi and Blanche care nothing about their futures. Trump cares less.

Republicans in Washington can kiss their seats goodbye.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS A CRIME FAMILY WHICH DOES NOT GIVE A FLYING DOG FUCK ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Blanche used to be Trump's personal attorney

He represented Trump in his 2024 criminal trial in New York

25. The Inepstein files..the holiday grift that keeps on giving...
