🚨 BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to submit unredacted Epstein-related emails and documents directly to the court for in camera (private) review.
Judge Emmet G. Sullivan will examine the unredacted records himself to determine whether the Department of Justice’s redactions are legally justified. The documents are not being released to the public at this time. Instead, the judge will decide whether some or all of the withheld information should remain sealed or be disclosed later.
The order stems from a lawsuit filed by Katie Phang, who is seeking access to records related to the government’s handling of the Epstein files.
Key takeaway: The judge has ordered the DOJ to produce the unredacted documents for private judicial review, not for immediate public release.
