The Wall Street Journal has called on the members of Congress who voted to release the Epstein files to apologize to the sex offender’s victims whose identities have been exposed.
The Murdoch paper’s editorial board penned the column after the Justice Department had to take down thousands of documents due to the unredacted release of victims’ names and even nude images of young women. Congress, it wrote, should learn its lesson that “such investigatory materials are usually kept private to protect innocent victims and witnesses.”
“Congress can’t fob off blame for the redaction errors, after it set an impossible deadline,” the board continued, referring to the legally required 30-day window to release the files that closed on Dec. 19. “If lawmakers have a vestigial sense of shame, they can apologize to the victims whose information was posted.”
