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