When powerful people start acting afraid, it’s even more important to demand the truth
The controversy over the Trump administration’s refusal to release the files on Jeffrey Epstein has reached a fever pitch.
The American people deserve transparency, and I am continuing to urge the DOJ to investigate financial information regarding Epstein’s network that I know they have access to.
For over three years, my staff and I have been investigating the paper trail between wealthy individuals funding Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. That includes digging into records of banks that helped enable him get away with his crimes.
My staff and I recently released more findings in our investigation that show over 4700 wire transfers and nearly $1.1 BILLION flowing through just one bank account. With hundreds of millions more flowing through others, including sanctioned Russian banks.
Attorney General Pam Bondi claims there’s nothing to investigate. If you ask me, that’s over 4700 lines of investigation right there to start with. My message to everyone tracking this is that investigators need to follow the money.
However, the longer Trump and Bondi keep shifting their answers and taking contradictory actions to their past promises to release the files, which Trump campaigned on, the more questions everyone has.
The longer he stonewalls, the clearer it becomes that there’s something to hide.
Meanwhile, House Republicans left town early for a 1.5-month vacation so they didn’t have to face votes on releasing the files. Republicans are literally running away from exposing the truth. What are they trying to hide?
Donald Trump campaigned on being the most transparent president in history. He campaigned on lowering costs. He campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. Just like every other promise he’s made to the American people – this one is being broken.
I’m tired of seeing powerful people obscure, lie, and hide in order to protect other powerful people. When elites seem afraid of the truth, it’s all the more reason to let the truth out.
At the end of the day, this is about basic trust. Because if the White House can’t tell us what should be easy-to-understand facts about the Epstein files, what else are they hiding?
Onward, for the truth.
