Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Sen. Ron Wyden clashed at a Senate Finance Committee hearing, renewing scrutiny of Jeffrey Epstein’s finances and access to banking records. Wyden pressed for Treasury-held documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein financial records and broader transactions, citing a “follow the money” investigation. Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, did not address withholding claims and instead alleged that Wyden’s son sought funding from Epstein. Wyden criticized the Trump administration and Bessent’s priorities, and said investigators need records to examine who financed Epstein’s trafficking operation and potential associates. He noted Leon Black paid Epstein $170 million for services, while Republicans have not supported subpoenas, leaving cooperation from the administration central to the inquiry.
