The remaining Department of Justice files on Jeffrey Epstein include the revelation that one of the pedophile’s victims was just nine years old and that a senior official in a foreign government was allegedly involved in his sex trafficking network, lawmakers have said.

Democratic congressmen Jamie Raskin and Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie visited the DOJ on Monday to review the remaining files withheld from publication due to their sensitivity via a secure terminal.

As they emerged from the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., the trio raised questions about why some of the material had been redacted by government lawyers.

“You read through these files, and you read about 15-year-old girls, 14-year-old girls, 10-year-old girls,” Raskin said.

I mean, there was already an allegation that trumpstein threw a newborn into a lake, so I don't think there's a lower age limit to their depravity.

Allegations that they removed from the released documents, which means that they're probably true or why else would they remove them.

There's a message from a Sultan to Epstein talking about how he 'loved the torture video'.

I expected there to be some sordid things in here, but this is a whole other level of 'we live without consequence'

This is to add to this, not compete, but he killed a 13 year old victim's baby in the file that was removed.

at this point, it's as bad as Dachau stories at Nuremberg, and we have only seen 1% of it. Not everything they did is in the files.
