Senator Ron Wyden's floor speech yesterday on Epstein was a barnburner. Here's a link and summary. [View all]

I tend not to want to watch videos, but I really recommend this one. However, if you just don't want to, here's a summary.
He says:
... 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.

... the still-undisclosed Epstein Treasury file contains “actionable information” that should be fully investigated. (Note: The Treasury file Wyden refers to is separate from the court documents and Epstein associate lists often called the “Epstein files.”)

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.”

Wyden accused the Trump administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, of blocking access to the full file, despite previously campaigning on transparency. He said repeated requests to review the material were denied.
