Tech-savvy sleuths have discovered a way to uncensored the heavily redacted files on notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, as the Department of Justice continues to release the documents.
Some portions of the documents, initially blacked out in Adobe Acrobat by the federal agency, pop up when copied and pasted into Google Docs or Microsoft programs like Word, The Post confirmed during a test run.
The Post, however, cannot confirm the veracity of the redactions.
“Anyone can read redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc,” social media influencer Jake Broe wrote on X Tuesday, along with a video demonstrating the federal agency’s major document faux pas.
“The people at Trump’s Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.”
Since Friday, the DOJ has released hundreds of thousands of documents tied to the billionaire sex offender after President Trump signed a bipartisan law requiring the government agency to turn over all “unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials.”
The trove of documents unveiled shocking, never-before-seen photos of Epstein with numerous high-profile politicians and A-list stars, such as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor — formerly Prince Andrew — Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and more — including a half-naked Clinton.
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted ex-girlfriend and madam, was also featured in thousands of photographs included in the massive document dump.
Public interest in the Epstein case intensified after the FBI and DOJ released a joint memo in July concluding that he committed suicide in jail and did not keep a “client list” of rich and powerful men to whom he trafficked girls as young as 14, contrary to widespread speculation.
Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
Despite the Friday deadline set by Congress to release the full Epstein files, the DOJ said the rest of the records will gradually be made public.
The White House and DOJ did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
