The Hill - Rep. Jamie Raskin (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said after reviewing the unredacted Epstein files that the Justice Department (DOJ) appears to have flouted the law when concealing various names in documents.
Lawmakers on Monday were permitted for the first time to review the unredacted versions of all DOJ files related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Several members of Congress had questioned whether the DOJ had fully complied with a law mandating the public release of the files, which allowed for only narrow redactions.
Raskin on Monday said that in addition to revealing the names of victims that were supposed to be shielded, the files released to the public appear to wrongly conceal those who spent time with Epstein “simply to spare them potential embarrassment, political sensitivity or disgrace of some kind.”
“I was able to determine, at least I believe, that there were tons of completely unnecessary redactions in addition to the failure to redact the names of victims, and so that’s troubling to us,” Raskin said.
“There’s no way you run a billion-dollar international child sex trafficking ring with just two people committing crimes, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. No way. It doesn’t work like that. So we need to figure out what other conspiracies were involved, what other co-conspirators were involved? And I really do believe that listening to the survivors is going to be our pathway through this nightmare.”
\Headline USA - Convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell helped fund the Clinton Global Initiative, seemingly contributing at least $1 million to the organization, according to the newly released “Epstein files”—the trove of documents released by the Justice Department. Indeed, an Oct. 7, 2004, email from former Clinton Foundation official Mary Morrison to Maxwell asks for a $1 million wire transfer. “I told them to be expecting $l million USA dollars… and that it would be coming in the next few days,” Morrison, who was an executive assistant to former President Bill Clinton, said at the time.
About a week later, Epstein responded to the email with a message, likely to Maxwell: “Ask him to tell you why i million now and where will it be going.”It’s not clear what happened after that. However, the emails are the latest indication that Maxwell and Epstein indeed had a major role in the Clinton Foundation—the conduit allegedly used by Hillary Clinton to trade political favors for monetary donations.
