WSJ columnist warns releasing Epstein files like 'National Enquirer' for innocent lives

Wall Street Journal opinion columnist Kim Strassel criticizes the "populist stampede" to release all Jeffrey Epstein documents, arguing that the Justice Department's duty is to protect the innocent. She states that releasing private investigative information, even without sufficient evidence for prosecution, can unfairly damage reputations and "upend a life." Strassel likens Congress's vote to indiscriminately release these documents to an "episode of the National Enquirer."
