Dem Sen. Ron Wyden claims ‘big’ Epstein file ‘full of actionable information’ locked in Treasury Department drawer

A “big” file of data detailing the late sex predator Jeffrey Epstein‘s suspicious bank transactions is sitting idle in the Treasury Department, a high-ranking Democratic senator dramatically claimed Thursday.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), the ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, delivered an impassioned call for the feds to take a closer look at Epstein’s finances and figure out the details of 4,725 wire transfers totaling about $1.1 billion to and from an account the convicted pedophile kept with JP Morgan Chase.

“Somewhere in the Treasury Department, Mr. President, locked away in a cabinet drawer, is a big Epstein file that’s full of actionable information,” Wyden, 76, declared on the Senate floor.

“Follow the money [and] details about his financing and operations that await investigation,” he pleaded.

A Treasury spokesperson refuted the senator’s claims.

“Despite Sen. Wyden’s fantasies, there are no hidden files at Treasury. The Biden administration had access to this information during its tenure. The fact that Sen. Wyden never asked Joe Biden or Merrick Garland to address this matter shows this is pathetic political theater and a complete joke,” they told The Post Thursday night.

Wyden, whose staff has been probing Epstein for at least three years, claimed the Biden administration let his aides peek at the Treasury’s file last year.

“The file shows that Mr. Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking,” the senator explained. “A lot of the women and girls he targeted came from Russia, Belarus, Turkey and elsewhere.

“One shudders to think about the kinds of people who must have been involved in trafficking these women and young girls out of those countries and into the Epstein web of abuse,” he added. “These are all potential leads.”

Critics have long questioned why Epstein and his convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, have been on the only ones prosecuted in connection with the disgraced financier’s habit of trafficking underage teens for sex at his various residences.

Beyond the JP Morgan Chase account, Wyden said, “hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts,” providing authorities with “even more to investigate.”

In all, Wyden’s office found four major banks — JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, and Bank of New York Mellon, and Deutsche Bank — flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions after Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, according to the New York Times.

A firestorm over Epstein erupted earlier this month after a leaked Justice Department and FBI memo concluded that the sex predator most likely committed suicide in August 2019 and didn’t have a “client list.”

Many prominent members of President Trump’s base quickly began questioning that conclusion and demanded more transparency, prompting ire from the president himself, who has dubbed the controversy the “Epstein Hoax.”

On Thursday, Wyden used the controversy to draw more attention to his own longstanding misgivings about the investigation.

“I wrote to the Attorney General, Ms. [Pam] Bondi, Treasury [Secretary Scott] Bessent, FBI Director [Kash] Patel, and I asked them all to produce the Epstein file to the Senate Finance Committee so it could be reviewed,” the senator said, noting he “made that request multiple times.”

“We are going to stay on this fight to hold the wealthy individuals accountable for the harm that they clearly were involved in, in injuring the young women and others in this sex trafficking,” he later added.

“[There was] real evil — real evil done to women and girls by Jeffrey Epstein,” Wyden added. “Nobody gets to sweep that under the rug.”
