‘4,000 Potential Lines of Investigation’: Top Democrat Claims Trump Admin Is Sitting On Key Epstein Evidence

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, revealed this week that the Treasury Department has records of thousands of wire transfers related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Wyden discussed the revelation in a Thursday floor speech, saying, “Last year, the Biden administration allowed our investigators to look at portions of the file. We did that at the Treasury building. Here is what it says. Treasury’s Epstein file details, Mr. president, 4,725 wire transfers.”

“Let me repeat that: 4,725 wire transfers, adding up to nearly $1.1 billion, flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that is more than 4,000 potential lines of investigation right there. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts. That’s even more to investigate. The file shows that Mr. Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking,” Wyden said.

Wyden’s findings were also reported on in the New York Times. Wyden shared the Times article and added, “Epstein had to pay for all his sex trafficking somehow. Further evidence shows he used Russian banks to process hundreds of millions in payments. Again, this is info in the possession of the Trump administration, but they’re refusing to investigate.”

The Miami Herald’s Julie Brown, who has spent years investigating Epstein, shared Wyden’s remarks and noted, “In almost every interview I’ve given on this story, I’ve said ‘Follow the Money.’”

Wyden’s comments come amid a firestorm of controversy around the Trump DOJ and FBI releasing a memo saying that the main conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein are false, a claim that has deeply divided the MAGA base.

The Treasury Department responded to Wyden’s remarks in a statement, saying, “Despite Senator Wyden’s fantasies, there are no hidden files at Treasury. The Biden Administration had access to this information during its tenure. The fact that Senator Wyden never asked Joe Biden or Merrick Garland to address this matter shows this is pathetic political theater and a complete joke.”
