00:00The U.S. Justice Department has released thousands of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
00:07The documents, however, have been heavily redacted.
00:10The government says this is to protect the identities of 1,200 of Epstein's trafficking victims and their families.
00:18Photos that have been released show Epstein with well-known figures, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton,
00:24Michael Jackson, and the British entrepreneur Richard Branson.
00:27Some lawmakers who pushed for the release of the files said the government is not complying with the law passed last month to make all Epstein documents public.
