The Department of Justice has posted thousands of court recordsand other documents from the Epstein files online in a searchable and downloadable format in response to a mandate from Congress demanding the files’ public release.

“In view of the Congressional deadline, all reasonable efforts have been made to review and redact personal information pertaining to victims, other private individuals, and protect sensitive materials from disclosure,” the Justice Department website reads.

The released documents contained court records from 51 court proceedings against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. The Justice Department said it included its own redactions in addition to information already redacted from the document.

“The redaction of victim names and other identifying information has been added by the Department prior to this production, as indicated by markings that read ‘DOJ Redaction,'” the DOJ’s website reads.

Though a significant cache, it still represents only a fraction of the total files and part of what the department was required to deliver.

After months of back-and-forth with the administration, Congress passed a law with near unanimous support mandating the files’ full public release by Friday.
