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.

      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.
