The US Justice Department faced backlash after unredacted nude images linked to Jeffrey Epstein victims were mistakenly published online. The disclosure was part of the government’s obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates the public release of records tied to Epstein’s activities. After being alerted, Justice Department officials acknowledged the issue and said they were working urgently to correct the errors. In one instance, a document referencing an 'Epstein victim list' left numerous names visible. The Justice Department had missed its original deadline to publish the files and deployed more than 500 lawyers and reviewers to complete the task.
