Outspoken journalist Piers Morgan has sent a ‘memo’ to the Trump administration regarding dragging out the Epstein files.
According to the Reuters, extensive redactions and the limited number of documents released related to convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein has angered some Republicans.
The thousands of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department related to Jeffrey Epstein were filled with the names of some of the world's most famous people, including former President Bill Clinton, but there was one notable exception: President Donald Trump.
The department released only a partial tranche of the Epstein-related documents in its possession on Friday with much of the information within them redacted, citing the extensive effort required in reviewing the materials and the need to protect Epstein's victims.
The celebrities who appeared in photos made available as part of Friday's release include the late news anchor Walter Cronkite, singers Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, British entrepreneur Richard Branson and the former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson.
Many of the photos were undated and provided without context, and none of those figures have been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor also appears in one photo.
The former Duke of York, who was stripped of his royal title over his ties to Epstein, has denied any wrongdoing.
Morgan took to X and tweeted, “Memo to the Trump administration: the longer you drag out the Epstein files, and the more of it you heavily redact, the worse this scandal will get. What we’re seeing now, as many of your own supporters are saying, is the opposite of the ‘full transparency’ you promised.”
