There's a lot more here and I cut out the crosstalk between the lawyers and judge. But in the portion I posted, Virginia Giuffre explicitly named Alan Dershowitz, Prince Andrew and Glen Dubin as men she was trafficked to. None odf their names were redacted. But she named a bunch of other men whose names were redacted. Her accusations against Dershowitz and Prince Andrew were certainly already known t the public, I'm not sure about Dubin. I'm guessing that is why they were not redacted. I assume all the redacted names have not previously been named in public, but the law explicitly says "No record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity" so there should be no justification for redacting those names. I believe those to be illegal redactions.
*****Update 2******
I found a version of this deposition released in 2024. It still has redactions, but far fewer than what the DOJ released today. Othe names NOT redacted initially but redacted now include Bill Richardson, Jean Brunel, Marvin Minsky & Tom Pritzker and possibly more.
https://www.scribd.com/document/697783665/Virginia-Giuffre-Deposition
*****Update*****
At least some of this deposition was released before. This article from January 2024 talks about the section where Virginia Giuffre was questioned about wearing lingerie for this specific person. In the files just released, this persons name was redacted. But in 2024, it was this person's name was released and it was Les Wexner.

Epstein victim says Ohio billionaire Les Wexner engaged in sex acts with her
The documents from the 17th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, tied to a Jan. 16, 2016, deposition of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, show quotes where she directly names L Brands creator Leslie Wexner as one of the powerful business executives she was sexually trafficked to.
During direct questioning by attorney Mary Borja, Giuffre confirmed she had sex with Wexner more than three times, but not more than 10. She also described an instance where Epsteins co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, arranged for Giuffre to wear specific outfits for Wexner.
Additionally, Giuffre described a specific incident in New Mexico where the billionaire was also involved with Sarah Kellen, a member of Epsteins inner circle who has also described herself as one of Epsteins victims.
How do you know that she had sex with Les Wexner? Borja asked.
I was there, Giuffre replied.
How many times did you and Les Wexner and Sarah Kellen have sex together? Borja asked.
Once that I remember, Giuffre said.
