Volume II Transparency Act of 2026
This bill requires the Attorney General to publish the second volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on the Department of Justice website within seven days of the law's enactment. The legislation allows for the redaction of witness and victim names, as well as national security information, though redacted national security details can be released if deemed in the public interest. The measure directly impacts the Department of Justice by mandating the public release of previously classified investigation materials while maintaining protections for sensitive information.
