Martina Navratilova acted surprised at the news of Donald Trump’s name being redacted from more than 100,000 Epstein files by the FBI and took a sarcastic dig at him. These files contain the records and evidence detailing American financier Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking network.
In a report published in Bloomberg, journalist Jason Leopold reported that an FBI FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) team redacted Trump’s name from these files and haven’t provided any concrete rationale yet for the act. However, the personnel who performed the redaction confirmed that these were done on the grounds of protection of the privacy of Trump and other prominent figures.
“While we have labored to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government’s possession, it is the determination of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted,” announced FBI in their July 2025 statement.
