Lets people sue the government if their private information is leaked from official documents.
This bill would let people sue the U.S. government if their private personal or medical information is improperly shared from official documents. Currently, individuals lack a clear legal path to address such disclosures. This change would allow victims to seek damages and legal fees from the government.
Today, if the government improperly shares someone's private personal or medical information from documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, there is no clear legal way for that person to sue the government. This bill would change that by creating a new legal right for individuals to sue the United States, seeking at least $50,000 in damages for each instance of improper disclosure, along with attorney's fees and court orders.
