The Justice Department on Thursday scrambled to address alleged revelations about the Epstein files published by James O’Keefe—founder of the far-right Project Veritas, known for its hidden-camera stings, in which individuals are secretly filmed disclosing information about the organizations that employ them.In the secret recording, Schnitt acknowledges that the Epstein files do exist—“thousands and thousands of pages of files”—and goes on to detail the DOJ’s plan.
“They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files,” the official said over lunch. He also noted that Maxwell was “transferred to a minimum-security prison too recently, which is against [Federal Bureau of Prisons] policy because she’s a convicted sex offender,” adding, “They’re offering her something to keep her mouth shut.”
O’Keefe’s supposed bombshells here, as always, warrant skepticism, as they are notoriously sensationalized and often deceptively edited.
This sounds like something the trump crowd would do. No one should be redacted in the files, repub or conservative or dem or liberal. No one can believe anything coming out of the trump people. I will wait for the list that the victims are compiling. That will have names that we can believe.
Funny that in the DOJ's statement that authenticated the video. Ooooops
