Epstein Files Transparency Act

This bill orders the Department of Justice to release its Jeffrey Epstein records. Within 30 days of enactment, the Attorney General must post, in a searchable and downloadable format, all unclassified records, communications, and investigative materials the department holds on Epstein, including files from the FBI and United States Attorneys' Offices. The mandate spans nine categories, among them the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell files, flight and travel logs, people and entities tied to his networks, immunity and non-prosecution deals, internal DOJ communications about charging decisions, records of any destruction or concealment of evidence, and records of his detention and death. The bill bars withholding, delay, or redaction on grounds of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity to any official, public figure, or foreign dignitary. It still permits narrow redactions for victims' private information, child sexual abuse material, material that would jeopardize an active investigation, images of death or abuse, and properly classified national-security information, and every redaction must carry a written justification published in the Federal Register and sent to Congress. Within 15 days of finishing the release, the Attorney General must report to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees and name the government officials and politically exposed persons who appear in the materials.

At least 3 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 9 quarterly reports filed by 3 lobbying firms and by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.

6 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 2557, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.

The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.

The organizations named: Moveon.Org Civic Action; Demand Progress Action, Inc; Democracy Defenders Action. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.

From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
