So yes, depending on how the DOJ applies these carve-outs, certain names could still be redacted lawfully.

It’s amazing that the House passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But even though the bill bans redactions for embarrassment or political reasons, it still includes several exceptions that could allow key names to be withheld:

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone.

Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it.

Today, the House finally passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Survivors have waited years for answers, and the American people have been kept in the dark for far too long.

Every name, every meeting, and every document must be released—no excuses, no delays.

This is textbook authoritarianism.
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Imagine being such a cretin. Smearing a man who was brutally murdered and dismembered. Another brazen example of the soullessness of Donald Trump.

Trump has done and said many outrageous things. This is on top of that list.

"Things happen." Exactly what Jesus would have said.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
