“No records, including those of any government official, public figure or foreign dignitary, were withheld or redacted on the grounds of embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity,” the letter said.
“Any omissions from the list are unintentional and, as noted in previous letters to Congress, are the result of the extent and speed with which the Department complied with the Act,” the letter said. “Individuals whose names were redacted for law-enforcement sensitive purposes are not included.”

The letter said the redaction process was “comprehensive” that included consultation with victims and victim advocates, to redact “separable portions” that included identifiable information on 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.
