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.

"Even before the Justice Department announced last week that it was closing the door on the Epstein investigation," the Times reported, "Mr. Wyden had been pressing Attorney General Pam Bondi to turn over bank reports along with other information about wealthy individuals and financial institutions in Mr. Epstein’s network."
