From redacted names to blank pages: Everything wrong with the disclosure of Epstein files by the justice department

As hundreds of thousands of people waited for the Epstein files to be made public, a huge proportion were eager to see whether US President Donald Trump was named, given his past association with the convicted paedophile.When the Justice Department released the documents, it invited so much traffic that it made the official government website crash. However, some lucky users became the first to access the infamous files. In the first batch, X user and political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen claimed that he tried to search for Trump’s name in the Epstein files library on the DOJ’s website, but was ‘shocked’ to learn that there’s no mention of him. Other X users encountered a similar glitch where they were unable to surf through a lot of information and started questioning the transparency which the Trump administration vowed.
