Federal Legislation
The PURGE Act of 2026.
Predator Unmasking, Restitution, and Government-wide Exposure Act — a federal accountability bill that enforces what existing transparency laws assume. Where the Epstein Files Transparency Act ordered records released, the PURGE Act supplies the deadlines, the right of action, and the removal, ban, and Public Registry that make release happen.

The gap
Why a new bill, when EFTA passed?
The Epstein Files Transparency Act became law on November 19, 2025 as Public Law 119-38, after passing the House 427 to 1. It is a release law: it ordered the Department of Justice to publish all unclassified Epstein records by December 19, 2025. What it did not include was any way to make that release happen — no private right of action, no civil penalty, no criminal sanction, and no Special Counsel trigger.
By the deadline, less than one percent of the records had been released by DOJ's own count. A January 30, 2026 bulk drop of roughly 3.5 million of 6 million pages arrived heavily redacted, and files already public were quietly pulled and re-redacted without notice or audit trail. EFTA assumed compliance. The PURGE Act enforces it.
The PURGE Act is therefore the enforcement layer EFTA omitted. It restates the release mandate with hard deadlines and a private right of action in the D.C. District Court, then extends accountability beyond the document set — to officeholder disclosure, co-conspirator investigation reporting, asset clawback and victim restitution, and victims' rights in plea negotiations. The bill assesses no monetary fine and no new criminal penalty against the Department of Justice or its officials — consequences are removal, a 10-year ban from federal office, pension forfeiture under the Hiss Act framework, and mandatory OPR and State Bar referral. It asks for no new policy: EFTA already passed 427 to 1.
What PURGE does
Five titles, one enforcement purpose.
Each title is written to operate through existing legal authority — FOIA procedure, the Crime Victims' Rights Act, federal forfeiture, and Congress's oversight power. None of them ask for action outside the rule of law.
-
Transparency enforcement Title I
A mandatory monthly release schedule with a hard 180-day full-release deadline, redactions limited to three narrow categories, every redaction published in the Federal Register within seven days, and a private right of action in the D.C. District Court. Section 106 expressly states no monetary fine or damages award may be assessed — the consequence of a knowing and willful violation is governed exclusively by section 107: removal, a 10-year ban from any federal office, pension forfeiture for the period of the violation, OPR and State Bar referral, and a security clearance review. Every finding is entered permanently in the section 110 Public Registry of Findings at the National Archives, cross-referenced into OPM, SAM.gov, the LDA lobbying registries, and the Office of Government Ethics.
-
Officeholder and candidate disclosure Title II
Every federal officeholder and candidate must file a sworn disclosure of any substantive contact with the Epstein-Maxwell network, narrowly defined as a meeting, shared travel, financial transaction, residence, or employment. Failure to file or a false filing carries a 10-year disqualification from federal office, with sitting members referred to their chamber's ethics committee rather than removed.
-
Co-conspirator investigation accountability Title III
DOJ must publish a quarterly report on the status of investigations into co-conspirators identified through objective listing triggers, with due-process safeguards for listed persons. If DOJ misses a report or opens too few investigations relative to the listed persons, a Special Counsel appointment is triggered. The title sunsets after 10 years unless reauthorized.
-
Asset clawback and victim restitution Title IV
Federal forfeiture authority is extended to reach all trafficking-conspiracy proceeds held by Epstein's estate, trusts, and successor entities, with proceeds deposited into a new Epstein Network Victim Restitution Fund in the U.S. Treasury, administered by a court-accountable Trustee on a USVSST-style claims process.
-
Victim notification reform Title V
The Crime Victims' Rights Act is amended to require written notice and a 14-day comment period for identified victims before any plea agreement, non-prosecution agreement, deferred-prosecution agreement, or immunity grant in a trafficking case — with judicial review and a private right of action when notice is withheld.
-
Congressional access to the full record Title I, §108
DOJ must provide unredacted access through secure facilities and enough terminals for each committee of jurisdiction to complete its review within 90 days — directly closing the four-computer reading-room limitation that made meaningful oversight effectively impossible.
-
Restitution funded by accountability §403, §106
Civil penalties collected under the transparency title and fines under the contempt and false-filing provisions flow into the Victim Restitution Fund, so the cost of non-compliance and concealment is redirected to the people the conspiracy harmed.

PURGE vs EFTA
EFTA opened the files. PURGE unmasks the predators.
The Predator Unmasking, Restitution, and Government-wide Exposure Act is the enforcement layer EFTA omitted. EFTA mandated release. PURGE makes that release real — with penalties on the page, predator names on the record, and a restitution fund the people the conspiracy harmed can actually reach.

The acronym is the policy. Five letters, five enforcement layers EFTA left off.
Dimension
EFTA · Pub. L. 119-38A release law.
PURGE Act · June 2026An enforcement law.
Enforcement
None. No mechanism by which any person can compel compliance with the disclosure mandate.
Private right of action for any U.S. person in the D.C. District Court. No exhaustion required. De novo review.
Consequence for cover-up officials
None. No civil penalty and no removal authority for officials who knowingly withhold or re-redact records.
Removal for cause, 10-year ban from any federal office, pension forfeiture under the Hiss Act framework, OPR and State Bar referral, and a security-clearance review. No monetary fine.
Criminal track for traffickers
None. EFTA is a release statute. It does not unblock charging decisions in the underlying trafficking conspiracy.
The existing federal trafficking statute, 18 U.S.C. § 1591 — mandatory 10-year minimum, maximum life — is unblocked through an automatic Special Counsel trigger under section 305 if DOJ refuses to charge.
Judicial review
No statutory in-camera review of classification or withholding decisions. Withholdings are unreviewable on the face of the statute.
Mandatory in-camera, ex-parte review by the D.C. District Court of every classification withholding. The government carries the burden.
Public Registry of Findings
No public registry. No cross-reference to OPM, SAM.gov, or the LDA lobbying registries. Withholdings are not memorialized in any permanent record.
Section 110 establishes a permanent, searchable Public Registry of Findings at the National Archives, cross-referenced into OPM, SAM.gov, the LDA lobbying registry, and the Office of Government Ethics. No expungement.
Restitution
None. No survivor fund and no funding source.
Title IV freezes covered assets on enactment, requires a sworn 60-day inventory in S.D.N.Y., liquidates through civil forfeiture, and funds a court-administered Victim Restitution Fund. Survivors paid first by federal court order.
