EPSTEIN Act

The EPSTEIN Act creates a new bipartisan commission within the legislative branch to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities and oversee the review of related government documents. This eight-member body, appointed by congressional leaders, is tasked with examining all relevant materials held by the Department of Justice, including the FBI and U.S. Attorneys' Offices, while consulting with experts on human trafficking. The commission has the authority to issue subpoenas, hold public hearings, and refer potential criminal cases to prosecutors, with the requirement that agencies provide unclassified records in a searchable format. Additionally, the group must submit quarterly updates to Congress and produce a final public report within 18 months detailing its findings and recommendations for improving the enforcement of human trafficking laws.
