AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the President to report to Congress within 90 days, and each year for 5 years after, on foreign persons found, based on credible information, to have knowingly taken part in, helped, profited from, or obstructed investigations of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking enterprise. The President would have to freeze those persons' property in the United States and bar them from entering the country, and the Secretary of State would revoke their visas. A name appearing in Epstein-related records alone would not be enough to support a finding. The President could waive sanctions for national interest or security reasons after notifying Congress, and would have to end sanctions in certain cases, such as when a person did not engage in the conduct or has served a sentence and taken steps to repair harm to victims.
