Last year, the Biden administration allowed Finance Committee investigators to look at portions of the file in person over at the Treasury building.

Here is some of what it says.

Treasury’s Epstein file details 4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just ONE of Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask me, that’s 4,725 potential lines of investigation right there.

Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts -- that’s even more to investigate.

The file shows Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking. A lot of the women and girls he targeted came from Russia, Belarus, Turkey and Turkmenistan. You shudder to think about the kinds of people who must have been involved in trafficking these women and girls out of those countries and into Epstein’s web of abuse.

Again, these are all potential leads the Department of Justice ought to be digging into. This is about years and years of international sex trafficking. None of this is a hoax. None of it is a scam. It’s insulting to the intelligence of the American people when Trump and Bondi say there’s nothing here to investigate.

I mentioned a moment ago that Finance Committee investigators reviewed portions of the Epstein file last year.

When the Trump administration came in with a whole lot of fanfare about transparency and openness, I decided to put it to the test. I wrote to Attorney General Bondi, Treasury Secretary Bessent and FBI Director Patel seeking that they produce the Epstein file to the Finance Committee for further review. In fact, I have made that request multiple times. The Trump commitment to transparency didn’t really mean a whole lot after all, because they refused.
