I dont think this is possible for the reason that it would never work longterm for a Dem push like this.
Hell, it might not work for even a GOP one as its specifically a trimming of the very power the Federalist Society lawfare system works.

Academics who have advised a graduate student from China over the past years would be banned from federal funding. This would give the federal government one more lever to attack scientists. And how long before they expand the list of "hostile foreign" countries?

Everyone does know what's going on here, right? Should the Epstein evidence bill pass both the House and Senate, these criminals will say it can't be released because there is an active investigation. Never mind that a thorough investigation was completed, and the DOJ was prepared to try Epstein.
