REDACT Act

This bill would let people sue the federal government if their personal information was not withheld or blacked out when documents were released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It covers a victim's personally identifiable information, personal or medical files, or similar files whose release would be a clearly unwarranted invasion of privacy. A person who wins would receive, for each violation, either $50,000 or their actual damages, whichever is greater, plus attorney's fees and possible court orders. The United States would give up its legal immunity from these lawsuits, and people would have 5 years to file. The bill would apply to violations occurring on or after November 19, 2025.
