Ali VitaliHOST
When lawmakers do return after the midterms, they'll have just 20 legislative days to tackle a crowded agenda, especially if Republicans lose control of either chamber.
Ali VitaliHOST
Chairs of the Democratic and Republican Women's Caucuses, Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez of New Mexico and Kat Kamek of Florida, have been working on a legislative package to overhaul how the House addresses sexual misconduct allegations.
Ali VitaliHOST
It would include proposals like prohibiting members from dating staffers, updating the Congressional Accountability Act, and creating a sort of one-stop shop to make it easier for people to come forward with these kinds of allegations.
Ali VitaliHOST
But given the crowded legislative calendar, even supporters pushing for action have admitted it's likely to get moved to the bottom of the to-do list.

Dawn FlickingerNARRATOR
Ontario.I'm incredibly confident that we will pass that one hundred mark.
Dawn FlickingerNARRATOR
Representative Teresa Leger Fernandez of New Mexico, chairwoman of the Democratic Women's Caucus, said in an interview.
Dawn FlickingerNARRATOR
The real issue is how far above it do we go? The peak projection of one hundred and thirteen could only be reached if Democrats won every competitive race, including a few that more strongly favor Republicans, a highly unlikely scenario even in the best of years.
Dawn FlickingerNARRATOR
But even reaching one hundred would be a high-water mark that was unthinkable just a generation ago.

Congress created all sorts of accountability mechanisms in the EFTA, but did not include a private right of action.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Indeed, on July 15, 2026, in response to allegations that the department has not fulfilled its obligation under the EFTA, Representative Massey, Khanna, and Leger-Fernandez introduced a proposed bill called the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The proposed EFTA 2 would amend the EFTA to authorize state and local government officials and victims to bring action against the Attorney General of the U.S., alleging an unlawful withholding, redaction, delay, removal, concealment, failure to publish, failure to produce, or failure to justify a withholding or redaction of a record, document, communication, or investigative material described in Section 2A of the EFTA.
