A resolution providing for the authority to initiate litigation for actions by the President and Department of Justice officials inconsistent with their duties under the laws of the United States.

This Senate resolution would direct the Senate Majority Leader to start or join one or more civil lawsuits in federal court, in the name of the Senate, over the Department of Justice's failure to act in line with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. That law required the release of records related to Jeffrey Epstein by December 19, 2025. The Majority Leader would have to notify the Senate when any such lawsuit is filed or joined. The Office of Senate Legal Counsel, or other counsel chosen by the Majority Leader after consulting the Minority Leader, would represent the Senate, with funds drawn from the Senate's miscellaneous appropriations.
