Relating to: urging the immediate and unconditional release of documents, files, and records related to Jeffrey Epstein.
SJR 79 is a non-binding resolution passed by the Wisconsin legislature urging federal authorities to release all unsealed documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. It specifically calls for the immediate, unconditional release of investigative files and court records - except for narrow redactions needed to protect ongoing prosecutions or victim identities. The resolution directs Wisconsin's congressional delegation and federal officials (including the President, Attorney General, and FBI Director) to act on this request. It does not create new law but emphasizes public transparency regarding Epstein's network and the need to hold implicated individuals accountable.
