H.R. 8215, the Volume II Transparency Act of 2026, directs the Attorney General to publicly release volume II of the report prepared by Special Counsel Jack Smith on the Department of Justice's website within seven days of the bill's enactment. The legislation allows the Attorney General to redact certain sensitive information, including the names and identifying details of witnesses who did not participate in criminal activity, victims of crimes, and information that could harm national security. However, the Attorney General may choose to make public any national security-related redactions if deemed to be in the public interest. This bill affects the Department of Justice and would impact public access to the special counsel's investigative report, with no specific funding requirements mentioned in the legislation.
