FBI’s Frantic Scramble to Redact the Jeffrey Epstein Files Revealed - Daily Beast via MSN
Newly released internal emails show the FBI mounting a costly overtime-fueled sprint to analyze the Epstein files as political pressure grew to release them—in a project dubbed the “Special Redaction Project,” Bloomberg reports.
Correspondence obtained and detailed by Bloomberg’s FOIA Files lays out how FBI Director Kash Patel sent about 1,000 special agents to the bureau’s Central Records Complex in Winchester, Virginia, for crash-course redaction training on the “Epstein Transparency Project,” also called the “Special Redaction Project.”
The documents chart the bureau’s hours, costs, and shifting directives from the Justice Department under Bondi, 60, who initially said Epstein’s “client list” was “sitting on my desk,” before officials then claimed in July it did not exist, sparking more MAGA anger.
Bloomberg’s records show the bureau paid $851,344 in overtime between March 17 and March 22 alone, and clocked 4,737 overtime hours from January through July—with more than 70 percent of that in March as personnel worked nights and weekends.
