'Follow the money': Senator describes what he saw in Epstein's bank records

A Democratic senator is continuing his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's financial network as President Donald Trump calls on his supporters to move on.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and some of his staffers have seen confidential files related to the massive sums of money Epstein moved through the banking system to fund his sex trafficking network, and the senator said his probe has taken on new urgency after the Trump administration has refused to release information seized by the FBI – which has angered many of his MAGA followers, reported The New York Times.

“We felt from the beginning this was a follow-the-money case,” Wyden told the newspaper. “This horrific sex-trafficking operation cost Epstein a lot of money, and he had to get that money from somewhere.”

High-dollar transfers to individuals, foreign countries or obscure companies are typically flagged by banks as potentially suspicious, and Wyden's staff have reviewed filings on thousands of wire transfers involving artwork sales, fees paid to Epstein by wealthy associates and payments to numerous women, and some of those transfers involved accounts at two Russian banks for as much as $100 million.
