Leftist Nutcase Posts Video Claiming He Unredacted Trump’s Epstein File Redactions and Found What He Is Trying to Hide – However There’s One Big Problem

A leftist on X claimed he unredacted parts of the Epstein files by copying blacked-out text and pasting it elsewhere, revealing hidden content about Trump. Ed Krassenstein amplified it, saying “I unredacted Trump’s Epstein file redactions. Look what he is trying to hide!” But here’s the big problem: it’s complete nonsense. The redactions in the DOJ’s PDFs are proper—blacked-out text is gone, not hidden. Copying yields nothing but blank space.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

The released files are heavily redacted to protect victims, as PBS Newshour reported: “hundreds more heavily redacted pages.” CBS News noted 550 pages were “entirely blacked out.” The Guardian called it a “heavily redacted cache.” DOJ pulled some files to add more redactions for privacy, per WSJ. No mainstream source mentions a copy-paste bypass; it’s a hoax, likely from edited screenshots or unredacted docs mistaken for new.

The “big problem” is the claim’s falsehood—screenshots might be from older, unredacted files or fakes, but official DOJ PDFs (like contact books and interviews) are truly blacked out. DocMartinLA tested and confirmed: “Copying redacted sections revealed no hidden text—the redactions are proper.” KATV debunked similar claims.

This is leftist desperation—spreading fakes to smear Trump while ignoring Epstein ties to Clinton or Summers. Trump’s pushing full release; Dems sat on it for years. Don’t buy the hoax—demand real transparency.
