Showing Original Post only (View all)Oregon Senator uncovers Epstein financial records [View all]
as Trump calls case a hoaxsnip
PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden is pushing back hard after President Donald Trump dismissed renewed interest in Jeffrey Epsteins crimes as a hoax and a scam.
The Oregon Democrat revealed Thursday that a detailed Treasury Department file shows Epstein moved nearly $1.1 billion through just one of his bank accounts, including thousands of wire transfers possibly tied to sex trafficking.

He said investigators found links between Epstein and sanctioned Russian banks, and payments tied to women and girls from countries like Russia, Belarus, Turkey, and Turkmenistan.
These are not conspiracy theories, Wyden said. These are real leads pointing to an international sex trafficking operation.
snip
Note: these records are not in what is called "the Epstein files." Wyden is referring to a U.S. Treasury Dept. file.
Not much more at link (very short story), but a follow the money remark, which might find a cnx to trump?

Epstein never had a trial; he was unalived before that could happen. I wonder why.
