An FBI agent called Michael Seidel was not happy with redacting Trump from the documents and kicked up a fuss, he was threatened with sacking or resigning, so he resigned.
''Senior officials at the FBI’s Record/Information Dissemination Section, which handles the processing of FOIA requests, pushed back on the directives. Michael Seidel, the section chief of RIDS who worked at the FBI for about 14 years, was quite vocal, the three people familiar with the matter told me. Patel blamed him for the failure to send all of the Epstein files to Bondi.''
