Top Democrats Demand Justice Dept Explain Redactions That Hide Abusers, Not Victims
KEY POINTS
- •On February 10, 2026, Jamie Raskin publicly criticized the Justice Department for oddly censoring Epstein files.
- •Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted to dining with Epstein on his private island, adding layers to the scandal.
- •Khanna publicly named six individuals linked to Epstein, including Victoria’s Secret titan Leslie Wexner, stirring more controversy.
On February 10, 2026, Jamie Raskin, a leading House Democrat and apparent part-time puzzle enthusiast, slammed the Justice Department for its 'puzzling, inexplicable redactions' that obscure abuser names while leaving Epstein victims fully exposed like an unfiltered Instagram feed. Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick casually dropped news of his private island lunch with Epstein—because who doesn't schedule casual island lunches with billionaires under federal investigation? Khanna named six targets, including Leslie Wexner, the Victoria's Secret tycoon whose brand literally dresses America’s mysteries. Epstein allegedly hatched deportation plots alongside lawyer Brad Karp, showing that in evil schemes, teamwork really does make the nightmare work. The sacred House floor thus turned into a transparency circus with spotlight but no popcorn.

When DOJ redacts abusers' names but exposes victims, you get a plot twist that even soap operas envy. Spoiler: transparency is optional!
Justice Dept's redactions are so baffling they could invent a new form of magician's disappearing act — goggles on victims, cloaks on villains.
Turns out Epstein lunches with Commerce chiefs and deportation plans are the new power lunches everyone (pretends) to avoid talking about.
