Thousands of Epstein documents removed after victims identified

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has removed thousands of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein from its website after victims said their identities had been compromised.
Lawyers for Epstein's victims said flawed redactions in the files released on Friday had "upended" the lives of nearly 100 survivors.
The notice included email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of potential victims could be identified.
The survivors issued a statement calling the revelation "scandalous" and said they should not be "named, scrutinized and re-traumatized."
The Justice Department said it had removed all the marked files and that the errors were "technical or human."
In a letter sent to a federal judge on Monday, the Justice Department said: "All documents requested by victims or attorneys to be removed as of yesterday evening have been removed for further redaction."
The department said it was continuing to review the new requests, as well as checking to see if there were any other documents that might need further redaction. A "significant number" of independently identified documents have also been removed, it added.
Under the terms of the release, which was mandated after both houses of Congress passed a measure forcing the Justice Department to release the documents, the federal government had to redact details that could identify the victims.
On Friday, two lawyers representing the victims asked a federal judge in New York to order the Justice Department to shut down the website that housed the files, calling the publication "the most serious violation of victims' privacy in a single day in the history of the United States."
