## Summary

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has issued a sharply critical report on how federal authorities handled investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. It says the government failed survivors over decades and urges further investigative steps.

The report calls on the Justice Department to interview or reinterview key witnesses, investigate allegations involving Epstein’s associates and give survivors unredacted access to their records. It also urges Congress to pass legislation allowing survivors of sexual abuse to speak about it despite confidentiality agreements; the proposal is sponsored by committee chair James Comer.
