In preparation for potential public release, the documents then went to a unit of FOIA officers who applied redactions in accordance with the nine exemptions. The people familiar with the matter said that Trump’s name, along with other high-profile individuals, was blacked out because he was a private citizen when the federal investigation of Epstein was launched in 2006.

In particular, the reviewers applied two FOIA exemptions to justify their redactions. The first, Exemption 6, protects individuals against “a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” The Supreme Court has said the exemption protects “individuals from the injury and embarrassment” that would result from the disclosure of personal information in possession of the government.

    you mean like raping a girl that looked like his at the time 13 or so daughter because of the similarity between them, then threatening with violence to stop her from pursuing legal action?

      Yep, that’s the kid Trump raped. We can confirm Virginia Giuffre. He also flew many times on the Lolita Express (so you know convicted felon Trump has been raping kids for a while).

      Yup, but let’s not stop there - he’s guilty of everything in those files until they release something that specifically exonerates him.
