That sentence, in plain words

Files that name a person count. That takes in people who work for the government. Files that name a group count too. A group counts if it is tied to Epstein's money or his crimes.

What this is about

A name can turn up in a court case, a deal, or a report. Any of those count. The tie can be proved or only claimed.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
