Summary
The EPSTEIN Act would set up an eight‑member independent commission in the legislative branch to review, investigate, and report on the Department of Justice’s custody of the so‑called “Epstein files.” It would give the commission subpoena power, the ability to refer criminal matters to federal and state prosecutors, and require quarterly reports to Congress. The measure aims to increase transparency and accountability for any potential wrongdoing tied to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.
