this information comes from a
Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee
...Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) has been conducting a multi-year investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s finances. The
first public revelation of the specific claim about
4,725 wire transfers totaling around $1.1 billion came on
July 17, 2025, when Wyden spoke on the Senate floor
1 . In that speech – prompted by former President Donald Trump’s remark the day prior calling renewed Epstein scrutiny a “hoax” and “scam” – Wyden
disclosed that a U.S. Treasury Department “Epstein file” contained evidence of 4,725 wire transactions, amounting to nearly $1.1 billion, flowing in and out of a single Epstein-linked bank account 1 . This bombshell was reported that morning by
The New York Times and amplified by Wyden’s own posts on social media. Wyden explained that
Senate Finance Committee investigators (bipartisan staff) had been allowed
in camera access to Treasury’s confidential files on Epstein in February 2024 (under the Biden administration)
3 . What they found was a trove of financial records detailing Epstein’s money flows over many years.
Wyden’s
July 17, 2025 floor speech (as prepared) was released publicly and laid out these findings, explicitly urging the Department of Justice to “follow the money.” He noted that Trump, despite earlier promises of transparency about Epstein, had “turned on a dime” once in office and was now stonewalling efforts to investigate Epstein’s network
4 . In the speech, Wyden revealed
Treasury’s Epstein dossier shows 4,725 wire transfers (~$1.08–$1.1 billion) from 2003 to 2019 involving Epstein’s accounts . He emphasized that
“hundreds of millions more” flowed through other Epstein accounts beyond that one, meaning the full scope was even larger
7 .
Notably, these findings did
not originate from a whistleblower leak or media report, but from Wyden’s official investigative work as
Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee . Earlier in 2025, Wyden had sent formal requests to the Treasury, DOJ, and FBI for records on Epstein’s financiers. For example, on
March 11, 2025, he wrote to Attorney General Pam Bondi (and others) seeking documents on Epstein’s funding, citing new evidence that billionaire Leon Black had paid Epstein at least $170 million used to finance Epstein’s activities
9 10 . Wyden hinted even then that he was
“deeply concerned that the Trump Administration may be withholding these documents to prevent exposure of President Trump’s own ties to Jeffrey Epstein.” 11 This suggests the
context: Wyden’s allegations came after months (even years) of probing Epstein’s financial web and growing frustration with what he perceived as Trump administration obstruction.
A Senate inquiry led by Ron Wyden uncovered 4,725 Epstein-linked wire transfers totaling nearly $1.1 billion—and claims Trump officials concealed the records.
