Washington – the Republicans rejected efforts to rectify four banks, which reportedly noted about $ 1.5 billion suspicious financial transactions related to an ashamed financier and suspected sex trader Jeffrey Epstein.
Rep. Jamie Raskin from Maryland, the Chief Democrat of the Chamber’s Courts Committee, submitted a proposal at the first Group supervisor who pressured the FBI director Kasha Patel as he took over the office in February.
“These four banks have marked the government $ 1.5 billion of suspicious operations associated with sexual offenses and epetine conspiracy, [his associate Ghislaine] Maxwell and all of their coworkers, ”said Raskin on September 17th.

The Maryland legislator said he wanted banks and their CEO to flip everything they had, helping to transfer money to the Epstein or from the death of suicide in 2019.
Specifically, Raskin pushed Jpmorgan Chase, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and New York Mellon Bank Mellon (BYN) and their CEO.
Publishers of Republican laws essentially joined Democrats by saying that they wanted answers to the growing questions around Epstein, including whether others were involved in his alleged trafficking in human ranges, using young women and minor girls.
But when it was time to vote on the proposal of Raskin, the committee’s chairman Jim Jordan quickly confirmed the Republican transition to the table or shot before the lawmakers could discuss it. Rep. Thomas Massie from Kentucky, the main sponsor of the resolution, seeking to release all the Government cases in the episteeine, was the only Republican siding with Democrats contrary to this step and supporting the efforts of the summons.
The committee did not stop discussing the proposal, so the GOP lawmakers, after voting for the effort table, did not immediately explain the causes of their votes. USA Today contacted the GOP Home Judicial Committee staff to comment.
A recent New York Times study, quoted by Raskin and other Democrats, is said to have spent a year (JP Morgan Chase) supporting and earning from a famous sex offender, despite red flags, suspicious activities and concerns. “
While the Republicans began to block the Raskin’s proposal, the Maryland Democrat noted that Jamie Dimon, CEO of Jpmorgan Chase, said his bank would follow any court summons that would pass on Epstein’s related records.
“We are sorry for any connection with that man. And of course, if it is a legal requirement, we will comply with it,” Dimon said to reporters, leaving the Senate GOP lunch on 17 September.
Senior Ron Wyden of Oregon, Chief Democrat of the Senate Finance Committee, also sought to use the Epstein Bank records for months.
Wyden said one of the documents of the Treasury Department reviewed by the Democrats and Republican staff of the Senate Finance Committee stated that the 2003-2019 2003-2019 There were more than 4,725 wiring transfers with a total of $ 1.08 billion, with Epstein and its accomplices.
At five hours at the hearing on 17 September. Raskin and other Democrats unfolded a female publicly calling for all Epsein’s documents before he was the FBI director, and then refused to release them now when he is responsible. The director said he was blocked by court orders.
“Cover your big boys’ pants and let us know what pedophiles are,” said Raskin during a five-hour marathon listening.
