Investigate Epstein-Russia Connection and Potential National Security Compromise

To: Sen. Kelly, Sen. Gallego, Rep. Crane

From: A constituent in Flagstaff, AZ

February 4

I am writing to urge you to support Senator Ron Wyden's Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act and demand a comprehensive investigation into potential foreign compromise of former President Donald Trump through Jeffrey Epstein's alleged intelligence operation. A recent Daily Mail investigation of released Epstein documents revealed 1,056 references to Putin and 9,629 references to Moscow, suggesting Epstein operated a large-scale honeytrap operation on behalf of Russian intelligence. Released emails show Epstein claimed he could give the Kremlin insight into Trump and that Russian UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin "understood Trump after our conversations." These documents require immediate congressional scrutiny, yet Republicans are blocking access to Epstein's financial records. The pattern of behavior during Trump's presidency raises serious national security concerns. Trump held over 20 secret phone conversations with Putin, including one days before the 2020 election. His campaign manager Paul Manafort regularly provided secret campaign strategy and polling data to Russian intelligence. There were more than 270 documented contacts between Russia-linked operatives and Trump campaign or transition team members, including at least 38 known meetings. The consequences were severe. The CIA extracted a high-level spy from inside the Kremlin in 2017 due to fears Trump would expose them. After Trump's two-hour private meeting with Putin in Helsinki in July 2018, during which he ordered translator notes destroyed, CIA sources in Moscow went silent. Dozens of CIA informants were captured, killed, or compromised during and after Trump's presidency. Trump revealed classified information to the Russian Ambassador in the Oval Office, burning an Israeli spy. Trump's financial dependence on Russian money is well-documented. Donald Trump Jr. stated in 2008 that "Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets." Eric Trump reportedly told a friend: "We don't rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia." This is not about politics. This is about protecting our intelligence assets, our national security, and our sovereignty. I urge you to support Senator Wyden's legislation, demand full access to Epstein's financial records, and call for a comprehensive investigation into these allegations. Our country's security depends on accountability.
