Lawmaker releases four-year Epstein probe, accuses major banks of looking the other way
Summary
A lawmaker released findings from a four-year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and alleged the largest Wall Street banks "looked the other way" as trafficking occurred, saying the banks violated the law and delayed notifying law enforcement. The speaker framed follow-the-money oversight as the route to justice.
A lawmaker announced the release of findings from a four-year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and accused major Wall Street banks of failing to act when trafficking occurred.
"Today, I released the horrifying findings of the Epstein investigation that we conducted for 4 years," the lawmaker said, adding, "I've always said, the only way to get justice is to follow the money." The speaker said the probe shows "the biggest Wall Street banks looked the other way when Epstein ran a *** trafficking ring for years." The transcript uses a redaction ("***") in that phrase.
The speaker asserted that those banks "violated the law" and did not notify law enforcement until years after the alleged crimes took place. The statement presented the investigation's financial-angle findings as the central evidence supporting calls for oversight; the speaker did not identify specific banks by name in the transcript.
The release emphasized accountability through financial subpoenas and oversight rather than criminal prosecution details; the transcript contains no response from any bank or from law enforcement. The speaker quantified the probe's duration as four years but did not provide additional specifics about which institutions were investigated or the evidence underlying the allegation that banks "violated the law."
