The Epstein Files Transparency Act directs the Attorney General to publicly release all unclassified Justice Department documents related to Jeffrey Epstein within 30 days of enactment, including investigative records, communications, flight logs, and information about anyone connected to his criminal activities or associates. The bill prohibits withholding documents based on embarrassment or political sensitivity to government officials, though limited redactions are permitted to protect crime victims' privacy, prevent harm to active investigations, and safeguard classified national security information. The Attorney General must publish detailed justifications for any redactions in the Federal Register and submit a comprehensive report to Congress within 15 days of completing the release, listing all categories of materials disclosed and naming any government officials or public figures referenced in the documents. The legislation aims to increase transparency around the Epstein case while establishing narrow legal exceptions for legitimate privacy and security concerns.
