IL HR0697

Illinois House Resolution calls for the release of all Jeffrey Epstein-related files held by the Department of Justice, with redactions limited solely to protecting survivor identities as required by the federal Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Alleges the Department of Justice illegally redacted and withheld more than 50 pages of FBI interviews and notes related to allegations against President Donald Trump, while failing to protect approximately 100 victims' identities.

Claims documents detailing allegations against President Trump were removed from the Justice Department's public database after initial disclosure, and that the DOJ announced in February 2026 that its investigation was closed with no additional charges forthcoming.

References allegations that Attorney General Bondi maintained a "burn book" surveilling members of Congress during their oversight review of unredacted files, and that Representative Jamie Raskin found one million mentions of President Trump in the files.

Calls for appointment of a special prosecutor independent of the Trump Administration to investigate whether documents were illegally redacted or withheld for political purposes.
