Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would require the Attorney General to publish volume II of the report prepared by Special Counsel Jack Smith on the Department of Justice website within 7 days after the bill becomes law. The requirement would apply regardless of any other law. The Attorney General could remove the names and identifying information of witnesses who did not aid or abet a crime described in the volume, and of victims of such crimes. The Attorney General could also remove information that would harm national security if released, but could later make that information public if doing so is found to be in the public interest.
