A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that the Department of Justice should release appropriate, non-sensitive materials related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein to restore public trust, affirm institutional accountability, and prevent the politicization of justice.

Key Points

• This resolution asks the Department of Justice to release documents from the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. This includes things like flight logs, summaries of the investigation, and records that have already been made public but are hard to find. The goal is to be more open with the public about what the government knows.
• It calls on government leaders to meet with victims first. The Department of Justice would need to answer their questions and show them what information will be shared with the public. This is meant to make sure the victims are protected and informed before anyone else.
• The proposal requires the Department of Justice to explain why it changed its mind about releasing files. Earlier in 2025, officials said they had a client list and would share it. Later, the agency said no such list exists. This resolution asks for a clear explanation of these different stories to restore public trust.
• The resolution says the government must protect the privacy of victims. Any files released would have personal details removed so that victims are not harassed or hurt again. It also asks the government to explain if they are still looking for other people who helped Epstein commit crimes.
