Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 185) to advance responsible policies.

This resolution sets up a special rule for considering H.R. 185 and changes that bill to require the Department of Justice to release records about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The Justice Department must make public all unclassified documents, communications, and investigation materials it has about Epstein or Maxwell, including records about Epstein's detention and death, flight logs, names of people connected to his criminal activities, immunity deals, and internal Justice Department communications about investigating or charging Epstein and his associates. The Justice Department can hide or black out parts of records only if they contain victims' personal information, child sexual abuse materials, images of death or abuse, information that would harm active investigations, or classified information, but cannot withhold records just because they might be embarrassing or politically sensitive. Within 15 days of releasing the records, the Justice Department must give Congress a report listing what was released, what was withheld, and which government officials were named in the materials.
