Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for audit to determine if Epstein files have been "tampered with"

Source: CBS News

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes and a group of Democratic members of Congress are asking for an independent review of the Epstein case files to determine whether any of the records have been "tampered" with or concealed, ahead of the release of those files by next week.

In a letter Thursday to the Justice Department's inspector general, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the internal watchdog to undertake a formal review to check for any "chain of custody" problems with the Epstein files.

Speaking with CBS News, representatives of some Epstein survivors have also asked for a third-party review to check if any record has been "scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed before the public sees it."

Under a federal law signed by President Trump last month, the Trump administration is required to release virtually all files on the government's investigations into Epstein by a Dec. 19 deadline, with minimal redactions.

spin those redactions as doing something to protect the victims - in other words, we got caught, so now we are going to lie about it.
