The Trump administration has botched the release of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files to accidentally expose private information about the victims — something that was clearly carved out of disclosure requirements under federal law, and that the administration itself has said it is working hard to avoid doing.

According to MS NOW legal analyst Lisa Rubin in a post on X Friday afternoon, her network's "initial review of documents just produced in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act indicate that despite a promise (and the obligation) to protect victim-identifying information, the DOJ has revealed the names and other identifying details of known survivors of Jeffrey Epstein."

For example, she wrote, "In at least one case, MS NOW found a driver's license with an unredacted photo among the documents produced today. None of these documents were previously produced in public court filings."

This comes after the Trump administration emphasized in court filings that the reason they had not released all of the files yet, despite it being over a month since the legal deadline to release them all, was that they were exercising due diligence to prevent the leak of private victim-identifying information.

4. Looking at the latest ones they turned around and re-deleted.

Someone put it up on the site, pressed enter and then said "Opps"

5. No Mistake

It's ALWAYS the victims whose identity is revealed, NEVER the perpetrators. A 'mistake' would not be so consistent - there would be unintentional identification of BOTH victims and perpetrators if this were an actual mistake. THIS is a flagrant attempt to intimidate witnesses and should be treated as such.

7. Wasn't

protection of the victims the fig leaf they were trying to hide behind as to why they've been BREAKING THE LAW every day since December 19th?

8. By "victim-identifying information" they mean "Trump-identifying information" and "minion-identifying information"

They're speaking a different language embedded in English whose primary translation tool is the absolute darkest of cynicism

10. It was not an accident. It has happened with each release of Epstein files so far.

It serves to unleash Trump’s flying monkeys to threaten the victims.
