AI Summary
This bill requires the Attorney General to release all unclassified Department of Justice documents related to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days of enactment. The bill mandates the public release of comprehensive materials including investigation records, flight logs, communications about Epstein's criminal activities, immunity agreements, and documentation surrounding his detention and death. The Attorney General may only withhold or redact specific types of sensitive information, such as personally identifiable victim information, child sexual abuse materials, ongoing investigation details, graphic images of violence, and certain classified national security information. Any redactions must be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress. The bill explicitly prohibits withholding documents solely due to potential embarrassment or political sensitivity. Within 15 days of completing the document release, the Attorney General must submit a detailed report to Congressional Judiciary Committees listing all released and withheld records, a summary of redactions, and a comprehensive list of government officials mentioned in the materials. The bill aims to increase transparency around the Epstein case and ensure public access to relevant government documents.
