New email from Sen. Wyden - he has bill to force treasury to release Epstein bank records money trail
No link; this is constituent email he just sent out.
Last week, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act to demand that Trump's Justice Department release its Epstein files.
This is a good step forward. It shows there is a growing, bipartisan demand for accountability and transparency. But I have major concerns about what Trump and his stooges could do to those files before they're released. There's a very real possibility that Trump or the people around him could have the files sanitized to benefit some wealthy and powerful people.
That's why I have to tell you about the OTHER Epstein files the Trump Administration is STILL HIDING, and need to be released.
The Treasury Department has its own Epstein file containing thousands of Epstein's bank records. Last year, my investigators reviewed a portion of these records, and I've been demanding that Treasury Secretary Bessent produce the file for further investigation. He has refused repeatedly.
These records contain a money trail. They would show how Epstein got his money, how he acquired and controlled his victims, and who he trafficked his victims to. These records contain a clear paper trail of which individuals and banks enabled Epstein's crimes, and who to hold accountable.
One of those banks was JPMorgan Chase. Just last week, I released a bombshell report with new findings from my investigators, showing that executives at the bank – all the way to the very top – helped enable and cover up Epstein's trafficking operation.
The New York Times: Wyden Presses for Investigation into JPMorgan Chase and Epstein
For years, the bank failed to disclose Epstein's suspicious transactions to federal law enforcement. Epstein was one of the bank's biggest clients, and top executives repeatedly ignored internal warnings about how he was moving money around. They closely supervised his accounts and even coached Epstein on how to sanitize his suspiciously large cash withdrawals.
It's clear that a lot of wealthy and powerful people and banks helped Epstein commit his atrocities for decades on end. And there's a paper trail sitting at the Treasury Department that would tell us exactly who.
But Secretary Bessent is stonewalling the release of those Treasury Epstein files, and he is bizarrely claiming that the Treasury has no role in investigating these records at all. That's a lie. My investigators have seen the paper trail with their own eyes. It's impossible that Secretary Bessent doesn't know about the Treasury's extensive role in investigating the financial crimes that Epstein must have been committing.
Scott Bessent, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi are continuing to run interference for pedophiles.
Now, we need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records. I have a bill to make that happen. I'm going to keep following the money until the American people know the full truth.
More soon,
Ron

Newly released emails show the late convicted sex offender’s extensive network of foreign contacts, whom he corresponded with about Trump’s policy decisions.

Nearly a month before President Donald Trump met Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in 2018, Jeffrey Epstein attempted to pass a message to Russia’s top diplomat: If you want to understand Trump, talk to me.
“I think you might suggest to putin that lavrov can get insight on talking to me,” Epstein wrote in a June 24, 2018, email to Thorbjorn Jagland, a former prime minister of Norway who was leading the Council of Europe at the time of the exchange. Lavrov was an apparent reference to Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s longtime foreign minister.
In the email exchange, one of hundreds released Wednesday by congressional investigators, Epstein indicated he had previously talked about Trump with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s forceful ambassador to the United Nations, before Churkin died in 2017.
“Churkin was great,” Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, wrote. “He understood trump after our conversations. it is not complex. he must be seen to get something its that simple.”
