Lawmakers see unredacted Epstein files, say names of powerful men were hidden

Members of the U.S. Congress have reviewed the unredacted versions of documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. They stated that at least six names of powerful men, which they believe are likely incriminated, had been redacted in the public versions.

The Justice Department subsequently unredacted more names from the files following pressure from these lawmakers. One congressman publicly named the six individuals during a live television interview and criticized the FBI's handling of the matter.
