Senator Corners Kash Patel on Secret Epstein Interview
. . .Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden has accused the DOJ and FBI of illegally withholding a document it should have made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, claiming an FBI record of an interview with a banker with ties to Epstein has been covered up.
Wyden made the bombshell allegation in a Wednesday letter sent to Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“Investigators from my staff recently learned that the FBI possesses an FBI 302 report memorializing an interview with a banker tied to Epstein that was conducted as part of a criminal investigation into Epstein and his associates,” Wyden writes. “This FBI 302 report is not included in the documents DOJ has released in response to the passage of the EFTA. The existence of this FBI 302, and its exclusion from the publicly released EFTA files, has heightened my concerns that the DOJ and the FBI are withholding key documents from Congress and the public.”
Wyden then demanded that the DOJ and the FBI “immediately produce copies of all FBI 302 reports related to investigations into Epstein and his associates, including but not limited to 302s generated from interviews with employees of JPMC, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America.”
Last month, Wyden published a report alleging that executives at those banks broke anti-money laundering laws by failing to screen or promptly report $1.4 billion in suspicious Epstein transactions. (Read more from “Senator Corners Kash Patel on Secret Epstein Interview” HERE)
