Representatives Jamie Raskin, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna raise questions about why some of the contents of the files was redacted after visiting the Department of Justice to review the uncensored material

The remaining Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein include the revelation that one of the pedophile’s victims was just nine years old and that a senior official in a foreign government was allegedly involved in his sex trafficking network, lawmakers have said.

Democratic congressmen Jamie Raskin and Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie visited the DOJ on Monday to review the remaining files withheld from publication due to their sensitivity via a secure terminal.

As they emerged from the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., the trio raised questions about why some of the material had been redacted by government lawyers.

“You read through these files, and you read about 15-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls,” Raskin said.

      Which high ranking officials? Yes. It’s not one, they are all compromised, if not on this, on other stuff. They only trust compromised people not to betray them. Same as the borgia pope did with cardinals in the 16th century. aka the whoremaster of rome, the one machivelli wrote the prince about the son of.

          Well it’s not one of those six, these are the six that were named: “Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of Dubai Ports World. And billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner”

          They did say trump is listed more than a million times in the unredacted files though.

            Wexner was one of Epstein’s first marks. He’s the one that introduced Epstein into a lot of the high society circles originally. Some real estate dickhead from the east coast.

        Not sure who OP is thinking but if you’ve been following UK politics at all I guess Lord Mandelson would be a candidate, though I don’t know if he’s really a big enough bombshell internationally.

          They named the six already. Its not that these are the most important or even named more often than others, these are just six men whose name popped up in the two hours they took to review.

          This whole thing is a huge mess and thousands of investigations are needed IMO. Probably could keep the FBI busy for the next half decade investigating Epstein conspirators alone.
