At a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Thomas Massie shows an email that he says survivors' lawyers sent the Justice Department, listing names not to release. He says the DOJ then released that email in the Epstein files production, redacting one name and the lawyer's name but leaving a survivor's name visible. Survivors who didn't want to be known are now getting phone calls, he says.

To my right is an email that was sent by the victim's lawyers to the DOJ. It was a list of names not to redact, or sorry, a list of names not to release. What did the DOJ do with this email? They released this email in the document production. Literally the worst thing you could do to the survivors, you did. And they're getting phone calls. A lot of these people didn't want to be known. And we know you touched the document because you redacted one name and you redacted the lawyer's name but you left the survivor's name there.
