Today I take pen in hand to write and urge you to open an entirely different, but possibly even more significant investigation of the Epstein sex trafficking network: His bank records and transactions from all bank and financial service companies.
You’re going to have to press Bondi and Department of Justice mercilessly, in order to dig deeper into why it’s being covered up.
The American people deserve transparency about who financed his criminal enterprise and what powerful individuals - foreign or domestic - enabled his horrific crimes.
Ranking Member Ron Wyden has outlined a clear investigative roadmap that includes examining Treasury Department records, investigating payments from wealthy financiers to Epstein, and deposing bankers who oversaw his accounts. These are concrete steps that can reveal the full scope of this case. Banks failed to report suspicious activity around Epstein's finances, and we need to know why.
I want you to push the DOJ to act on these recommendations immediately. Subpoena the bank records. Investigate the Russian bank involvement. Get the documents related to the U.S. Virgin Islands settlement agreement. This investigation has dragged on with too many unanswered questions about who knew what and when.
The public has a right to know who was complicit in enabling a serial predator. Press the DOJ and its leaders, and hold them accountable. Thank you.
