US Department of Justice 'Protects' Mona Lisa, Not Epstein's Victims

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has sparked controversy by censoring the image of the Mona Lisa in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, while simultaneously leaking survivors' personal data, including names, social security numbers, and nude photos.

According to Hyperallergic, the censored image appeared in a 2009 email titled 'simply paris,' which contained photos of a couple in Paris. In some photos, the woman's face was covered.

The DoJ's decision contrasts with allegations of inadequate redaction of victims' information. A victim's lawyer stated that her client is mentioned over 500 times in the files, and unredacted nude photos were published.

Furthermore, the release of documents revealed Epstein's connections to the art world, including David A. Ross and Jeff Koons. Leon Black is also mentioned extensively in the files.
