Overview
- The measure, passed 427–1 in the House and by unanimous consent in the Senate, compels publication of non‑classified DOJ records tied to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi must post the files in searchable, downloadable formats within 30 days and submit to Congress within 15 days an accounting of any redactions.
- The law permits withholding to protect victims’ identities, child‑sex‑abuse material, grand‑jury secrecy, national‑security information, and records that could jeopardize ongoing investigations.
- Bondi said the department will follow the law and protect victims, noted tens of thousands of pages already provided to Congress, and confirmed a new investigation now underway.
- Survivors and bipartisan lawmakers are pressing for full transparency after recent House Oversight releases of roughly 23,000 pages intensified pressure on the administration.
