John,

Yesterday marked the Justice Department’s deadline to release their files on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and they released heavily redacted pages. We still need the full, unredacted Epstein files to see the complete picture of who was involved in these horrific crimes.

I listened directly to survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking, including people who had been abused at 13 or 14 years old. They told Congress over and over again to “follow the money.”

The Treasury Department has information about more than 4,000 wire transfers connected to Jeffrey Epstein, totaling more than $1.5 billion.

So I’ve been pushing the Treasury Department to release Epstein’s financial transactions, which will reveal co-conspirators and more.

I’m also demanding big banks testify about how they’ve protected Epstein and enabled his crimes to continue.

For more than 15 years, big banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America ignored evidence of Epstein’s sex trafficking, repeatedly failing to file legally-required Suspicious Activity Reports—and profiting off this systematic abuse.

Join me in demanding justice for Epstein’s survivors: Call on Congress to hold big banks accountable for enabling sex trafficking, and demand the Secretary of the Treasury stop protecting pedophiles and release Epstein’s financial transactions now.

I’m part of the House Financial Services Committee, where I’ve pushed to subpoena unredacted financial transactions and advance policies to ensure we know the full truth, so we can hold perpetrators accountable.

We already know that JPMorgan opened 134 accounts for Epstein and processed over $1 billion in suspicious transactions. Even after he was a convicted sex offender.

Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon all allowed similar red-flag transfers—such as payments to victims, co-conspirators, and oligarchs—without filing Suspicious Activity Reports.

In violation of the law, these banks waited to raise the alarm until after Epstein was arrested and after he died.

Epstein’s countless victims deserve a complete and thorough investigation. They deserve justice and the full story, including why banks only reported this activity after Epstein’s 2019 arrest.

We must hold big banks accountable for supporting and enabling human trafficking. I’m demanding full investigations in Congress to confront this, including requiring these banks to testify before Congress. Otherwise, the financial system will keep protecting predators.  

We also need more public pressure on federal lawmakers and the Trump administration to release the full files.

Please sign if you agree: Federal lawmakers must investigate Wall Street’s support for Epstein, and the Trump administration must release the full files—including financial transactions connected to Epstein.

Thank you. Together, we will continue to hold the powerful to account and fight for policies that protect survivors and deliver justice.

In solidarity,

Rashida
