Epstein Files Transparency Act

December promises epic political theatre. The Epstein Files Transparency Act sets the stage. Here’s a guide:

Before December 19, 2025 the Department of Justice (DOJ) must release—in searchable, downloadable formats—their “files” on Epstein and associates, including:

• Flight logs, pilot and travel records, manifests, itineraries, and immigration documents related to aircraft, vessels and vehicles owned or used by Epstein;
• Names of persons connected to Epstein’s criminal activities, and a tally of corporate, nonprofit, academic and governmental entities tied to Epstein;
• Epstein-related immunity deals, non-prosecution agreements and sealed settlements;
• DOJ emails, memos and notes concerning decisions to charge or investigate Epstein et al.

DOJ must turnover: incident and autopsy reports, witness interviews and medical examiner files detailing circumstances and causes of Epstein’s “suicide.” Specifically, they shall divulge memos, directives, logs and data concerning the destruction, deletion, alteration or concealment of information related to Epstein’s detention and death.

DOJ may withhold/redact only segregable portions of records that:

• Invade victim privacy;
• Contain child pornography;
• Jeopardize ongoing investigations or prosecutions – provided such withholding is narrowly defined and temporary.

DOJ may withhold/redact national security secrets only if this information was explicitly classified by proper Executive order. DOJ must declassify this information to the maximum extent possible. Post-July 1, 2025 classifications shall appear in the Federal Register and be presented to Congress with the classification’s date and justification, and the classifier’s identity.

Justifications for all redactions must be published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress.

Within 15 days of the main info drop, DOJ shall deliver to Congressional Judicial Committees:

• A catalogue of records released and withheld;
• A summary of redactions, including legal basis therefor;
• Names of officials and politicians found in these materials.

“No record shall be withheld, delayed or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity including to any government official, public figure or foreign dignitary.”
