FBI Employees Reviewing Jeffrey Epstein Files Told to Limit Redactions.

Officials worry sensitive information will be exposed in Trump administration’s push to release material

Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered a review of the Epstein files after a first batch she released in February fell short of expectations.

WASHINGTON—Hundreds of FBI employees have been working long shifts examining documents from the bureau’s investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, making only limited redactions that some officials worry will expose sensitive information about sex-abuse victims and witnesses, people familiar with the matter said.

Under pressure from Patel, agents and other FBI employees in New York and at headquarters in Washington have been pulled from other duties to work 12-hour shifts to pore over the material, people familiar with the effort said. They have been instructed to redact only a list of victim names and their personally identifiable information, like phone numbers and social-media handles, the people said. A victim’s city and state must be disclosed, under the terms of the review.

Reviewers were told not to blacken entire chunks of text and that no other third-party names will be protected, the people said, meaning details of witnesses, victims’ relatives and people close to them could become public. If reviewers find nude photos of victims, they can redact the entire body, but if the victim is clothed, they are instructed to only black out the victim’s face
