Epstein Files: Trump's name redacted by Trump's FBI
BLOOMBERG.COM
'redacted'
SUMMARY

In March 2025, FBI Director Kash Patel ordered agents to review over 100,000 Epstein-related documents at the Central Records Complex in Virginia. Agents flagged Trump’s name, redacting it under FOIA Exemptions 6 and 7(C), citing privacy protections for private citizens, as Trump was in 2006 when the Epstein probe began.

Other high-profile names were also blacked out. Attorney General Pam Bondi, informed in May 2025 that Trump’s name appeared, had pushed for transparency but faced setbacks. On July 8, 2025, the DOJ and FBI jointly stated that further disclosures were not “appropriate or warranted.”
