The leaked Epstein files are inadmissible in court. These versions would be usable. And redacting them means they can't be used against Trump, even though we all know he's on it, since we have seen the originals. The official ones are way more important because they can be used. So their coming out has actual legal repercussions, and not just social repercussions.

And I also think there are more files than what leaked. So we won't have seen the originals of some of the upcoming redacted ones.
