Trump's name blacked out in Epstein files after FBI review: Report

The FBI redacted US President Donald Trump's name, along with those of other high-profile individuals, from internal records related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during a large-scale review earlier this year, according to a Bloomberg report.

Roughly 1,000 agents were instructed to flag any reference to Trump while combing through more than 100,000 pages of documents in March, the report said citing sources. Trump’s name was blacked out by FBI agents as it constituted an “unwarranted invasion of privacy”.

The internal directive was part of a Justice Department-led reassessment of the Epstein files, which concluded that there was no evidence of criminal activity by Trump.
