The letter says the redaction process was “extensive” including consultation with victims and victim counsel, to redact “segregable portions” that contain information identifiable to victims, such as medical files that could jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, or depict/contain images of death, physical abuse, or injury.
