What it does
The Volume II Transparency Act of 2026 would require the Attorney General to publish volume II of the report prepared by Special Counsel Jack Smith on the Department of Justice’s website within seven days of the bill’s enactment. The bill allows for limited redactions to protect witness and victim identities, as well as national security information, though such national security redactions may be overridden if the Attorney General determines public disclosure serves the public interest. The legislation applies to the Department of Justice and affects public access to the Special Counsel’s report. It was introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
