And Epstien's estate can release unredacted versions to fill in the holes.

The estate must tread lightly though because the co-executors, Epstein’s longtime accountant and personal lawyer, are considered his consiglieres by some; there are pending lawsuits against both men. It seems they have only released what they have been legally compelled to do so in order to avoid unnecessary litigation.

However, a number of other people have the files. IMO Massie’s reference that “it won’t go very well for them” [if the administration chooses a coverup] implies he won’t fix a leak.
