The US Department of Justice is mandated by the recently passed Epstein Transparency Act to disclose all documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sexual offender.
In November, the US Congress passed the Epstein Transparency Act (EFTA) with a significant majority, requiring the Department of Justice to publicly release all documents concerning the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This act emphasizes transparency by mandating the release of all records, while also ensuring that the identities of Epsteinβs victims are redacted to protect their privacy. The act specifies that information cannot be withheld or edited due to concerns over shame, reputational damage, or political sensitivity.
