Lets victims of improper data leaks from Epstein files sue the government for damages.
This bill would let people whose private information is improperly shared from the Epstein files sue the U.S. government. Currently, there's no clear way for individuals to take legal action if their personal or medical files are leaked. If passed, this bill would allow victims to seek financial compensation and other relief, making the government accountable for such disclosures.
Today, if someone's private information is improperly released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, there is no explicit legal way for them to sue the U.S. government. This bill would create a new legal right for individuals to sue the government if their protected personal or medical files are improperly disclosed by federal employees. If successful, they could receive at least $50,000 in damages for each privacy breach.
