Senate Democrats Seek Release of Epstein Files Using Rare Law
Senate Democrats are intensifying efforts to compel the Trump administration to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, using a rarely invoked 1928 law known as the "Rule of Five" that enables minority senators on oversight committees to demand information from federal agencies. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized President Trump for breaking his campaign promise to release these files and highlighted the ongoing controversy following a Justice Department review that found no client list or evidence of Epstein blackmailing prominent figures. Senator Ron Wyden revealed that Epstein's financial records, obtained from Treasury files, show nearly $1.1 billion flowing through thousands of wire transfers and implicate multiple Russian banks now under sanctions, raising numerous investigative leads and questions about IRS oversight of Epstein’s tax affairs. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the Trump administration is engaging with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s close associate, potentially exploring a pardon or sentence reduction amid concerns that Maxwell may possess damaging information on President Trump. Journalist Michael Wolff indicated that a leaked birthday message from Trump to Epstein might be perceived by the White House as a warning from Maxwell, prompting Trump’s legal team to investigate what leverage she holds. These developments underscore the deepening political and legal scrutiny surrounding Epstein’s network and its connections to President Trump.
