Attorneys Brad Edwards and Brittany Henderson, representing over 200 Epstein survivors, issued a statement confirming that 'no financial documents were released' in the DOJ's initial Epstein files disclosure. This represented a critical violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which explicitly required release of materials about 'entities with ties to his trafficking or financial networks.' The omission of financial records prevented public understanding of how Epstein funded his trafficking operation, which banks and financial institutions facilitated his activities, and which wealthy individuals provided financial support. The attorneys stated: 'It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law.' They noted that grand jury minutes 'approved by a federal judge for release, were fully blacked out—not the scattered redactions that might be expected to protect victim names, but 119 full pages blacked out.'
