(Feds accused of destroying Epstein evidence put on notice by GOP firebrand The bill would impose harsh penalties on officials who destroy government documents)
( Stopping High-level Record Elimination and Destruction (SHRED) Act of 2025.)
"It would levy a mandatory sentence of 20 years to life for any government official or employee of the Department of Justice (DOJ), or anyone in the wider intelligence community, found to have concealed, removed, or mutilated federal records, according to bill text previewed by Fox News Digital.
Federal law currently dictates that anyone found knowingly destroying, falsifying, or obstructing government records "with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States" is eligible for a fine or up to 20 years in prison."
No kidding and why do we need a bill , the treasonous bastards should be locked up immediately! Then again we aren’t putting known ( with proof) murderers and pedos or thieves and everything-in between in prison so… just another joke job , getting old ! Apologies for the rant , but to me , it’s ridiculous that we need a bill to arrest a federal worker who destroys evidence .
