Treasury to share Epstein financial records with Congress

A House committee looking into the investigation of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein will be receiving financial documents from the Treasury Department, its chair announced Friday.

Rep. James Comer, chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said the panel has received a letter from the Treasury Department pledging to cooperate with the probe and release documents expected to include suspicious activity reports related to Epstein and his former girlfriend and co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

“The Trump Treasury Department is fully cooperating with our investigation into Epstein’s crimes,” Comer said in a statement. “We will follow Epstein’s money trail to ensure transparency and accountability for the survivors and the American people.” The agreement may help advance the probe led by Comer into the Department of Justice’s investigation of Epstein, who died in an apparent suicide in his jail cell shortly after his 2019 arrest.

House Republicans have used Comer’s investigation to push back against the effort led by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie to force the government to release all the Epstein investigation documents.

It sounds like it might just be Comer's House committee. The other question might even be if the Democrats on that committee get full access


As they have tried to get the signatures for the discharge petition, the Speaker has pushed the option that Comer is already the person who is leading on this. The same Comer who distorted closed hearings on various Biden related investigations.
