According to Senator Ron Wyden, it’s not just Trump, and it’s not just Pam Bondi, who are halting the release of the Epstein files. It is also Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Evidently, the Treasury Department holds thousands of detailed financial records documenting Jeffrey Epstein’s transactions, and Senator Wyden has been trying—unsuccessfully—to obtain access to them. Bessent has denied him.
Follow the money. Senator Wyden just released a stunning new report released where he’s continuing to apply pressure, not only by releasing this new report but also by publicly calling out JP Morgan Chase executives. According to Wyden, the bank didn’t simply inadvertently fail to report suspicious activity as required; they allegedly kept quiet because they wanted to continue doing business with Epstein. He was one of the bank’s single largest clients and part of an elite client group called the“wall of cash”
In addition to the report, the Senate Finance Committee has now subpoenaed JP Morgan Chase for further information related to the Epstein documents. Wyden made this statement on X when releasing the report:
“You all know I’ve been after the Treasury Department’s own Epstein file. It’s a set of thousands of detailed bank records, a map of Epstein’s financial network. Secretary Bessent is blocking its release and he denies it’s even something Treasury should be investigating. So it’s not just Trump and Bondi running interference for pedophiles. Bessent is a key part of the Epstein coverup. I plan to seek Senate approval of my bill to force the Treasury to release its Epstein file in the coming weeks because we need to keep on following the money.”

Hakeem Jeffries Says Trump Is Running “Pedophile Protection Program”
https://newrepublic.com/post/202623/hakeem-jeffries-trump-johnson-republicans-pedophile-protection-program
When asked by a reporter about working with someone who has been obstructing the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, Jeffries said that “the Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program.”
“That’s what they’ve been doing. And that’s the reason why they refuse to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, for weeks now,” Jeffries added, referring to the congresswoman who won a special election on September 23 to replace her late father, Representative Raúl Grijalva. “She was elected in late September decisively.”
Jeffries said that Grijalva hasn’t been sworn in by House Speaker Johnson because she would be the deciding vote on legislation requiring the Department of Justice to release the Epstein files.
“Week after week after week have gone by, and Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva is unable to serve 800,000 people in the state of Arizona all because of the pedophile protection program being run by Mike Johnson and House Republicans at the direction of their boss, Donald J. Trump,” Jeffries added.

Add Senator Chris Murphy.

With a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein just days away, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said this weekend that it was clear President Donald Trump was “at the center of a child sex ring,” and that the president’s behavior over the past week made it clear that the files contained “something especially and specifically incriminating.”
“What we've already seen is immensely incriminating; clearly, Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring,” Murphy said, speaking over the weekend with The Bulwark Managing Editor Sam Stein during a panel. “That is heartbreaking that the president of the United States was involved in that kind of gross, craven immorality.”
*****
“He is in daily panic mode as we get closer to the moment where these files and the fullest truth that we have available to us is going to be made public, and it is clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history,” Murphy said.
“...It stands to reason that he wouldn't be fighting so hard to spin against this story, or bullying Republicans in the House to prevent the release of these files if there wasn't something especially and specifically incriminating in that information.”

And a long discussion on Trump’s possible “fit” in the global scheme.

Just hear me out, what if he's not just in the Epstein files
But actually a part of the trafficking ring. He ran the Rump Modeling Agency and owned the Miss Teen America Pagent.
I post appropriate stuff in Activist Headquarters and The Way Forward because it's easier to find things there.
