Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., on Monday said that the Department of Justice improperly shielded the names of individuals in the Epstein files, after reviewing the unredacted documents personally.

Raskin was one of several lawmakers who viewed the full, uncensored documents, after the DOJ released millions of heavily censored documents to comply with a law that President Donald Trump signed.

“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,” he said, according to The Hill.

“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," he added. "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.”

Raskin's comments come as Trump officials, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, face scrutiny over their links to Epstein.
