Review not required.

Release the files.

The law does require them to review each file before release, and redact identifying information about any of the victims (and only the victims)

It also specifies that reputational damage is not a valid reason for redacting information

Somehow I suspect the Trump admin is using a very broad definition of "victim" though

What part of "total release no later than end of day 19th December 2025" didn't they get? They don't get to spend time cherry picking what they want to release.

No one can or will enforce it so they have the time in the world

That's a lot of documents to black out Trump's name from. They better get moving if they don't want to break yet another law by missing the court ordered deadline that was 5 days ago.
