Has Trump’s Name Been Redacted from the Epstein Files?
Yes. The FBI did, in fact,
redact former President Trump’s name (along with several other high-profile individuals) from documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
- The redactions were conducted by the FBI's FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) review team. It was reported that Trump’s name was removed due to privacy protections, as he was a private citizen at the time the investigation began in 2006.

The
Department of Justice (DOJ) publicly defended the redaction, pointing to legal obligations to protect the privacy of individuals who were not charged or implicated and to safeguard ongoing or sensitive investigations.
