Bill > SR180

This resolution urges the President and Congress of the United States to release all federal records concerning the Jeffrey Epstein investigations, with the exception of information strictly necessary to protect the privacy and safety of victims. It highlights that while Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Epstein, has been prosecuted, many others involved in or who helped conceal his extensive human-trafficking and abuse network, which exploited underage girls and other vulnerable individuals, have not been held accountable. The resolution expresses concern that previous legislation aimed at transparency, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, has not been adequately enforced, with some victim identities being released without proper redaction while names of individuals communicating with Epstein, even about underage girls, have been redacted for reasons of political sensitivity or embarrassment. Therefore, it calls for full transparency and accountability by releasing these records with only minimal redactions to safeguard victims, and also requests Congress to investigate individuals implicated in the Epstein files and compel their testimony.
