Epstein survivors call on Congress to force Trump administration to hand over financial records

Bank records at the Treasury Department could expose the sex trafficker’s ‘cross-border criminal organization,’ victims say

A group of women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein are urging Congress to pass legislation that would force Donald Trump’s administration to hand over banking records that could expose the financial engine behind the late sex offender.

“Congress passed legislation dealing with the Epstein files at the Justice Department, and now we need to do the same with the Epstein files at the Treasury,” Wyden said Tuesday.

Confidential bank reports, filed with the Treasury Department and IRS, could provide a vital look at the massive financing machine behind Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking operation, which spanned New York City, Florida and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

“These Epstein records at the Treasury Department, which Secretary Bessent has been hiding all year, would provide a detailed map of Epstein’s financial network and help us learn more about who funded, enabled and participated in his trafficking operation,” according to Wyden.
