EPSTEIN Act

This bill would create an 8-member commission in the legislative branch to examine Department of Justice materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, known as the Epstein files. Congressional leaders from both parties in the House and Senate would each appoint 2 members, and members of Congress and Justice Department employees could not serve. The commission could request information from federal agencies, issue subpoenas, hold public hearings, and refer possible crimes to federal or state prosecutors. It would send quarterly reports to Congress and a final public report within 18 months, with some victim information and certain images allowed to be withheld.
