Comer Files Bill To Void NDAs That Silenced Epstein Survivors

Comer Files Bill To Void NDAs That Silenced Epstein Survivors

House Oversight Committee's H.R. 10389 also creates the first federal duty to report suspected child grooming to police.

  • House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) introduced H.R. 10389, the Survivor's Voice Protection Act, on September 16, 2026.
  • "During our investigation, we've learned how powerful men weaponized nondisclosure agreements to silence survivors of sexual abuse."
  • Bill voids existing NDAs retroactively and creates first federal duty to report child grooming.

Why it matters: The government that failed these women for decades now writes the law protecting the next ones.
