The department said the redactions were originally made to protect the prosecution against Stone over charges of lying to Congress and witness tampering.
Stone was convicted of all seven charges against him and was sentenced earlier this year to more than three years in prison.
The new information from the report comes three months after a federal judge demanded that the DOJ hand over the unredacted report for his review and blasted Attorney General William Barr
