## Resource

A federal judge has ordered the Justice Department to release unredacted Epstein documents—or explain why they can’t—or face legal consequences. The ruling follows a lawsuit by journalist Katie Phang, who claims redactions are hiding critical info, including emails, a draft indictment, and possibly references to President Trump. The judge rejected the government’s attempt to delay and affirmed Phang’s right to sue, saying standard FOIA requests weren’t enough. With millions of records already released, the Justice Department now faces pressure to reveal what’s been withheld, including names and sensitive content, or justify why it’s still secret. This is a major victory for transparency advocates who argue the government tried to shield powerful figures from public scrutiny.
