This document is proof that it’s essential to keep following the money. I’m convinced there’s a mess of financial crimes running throughout the Epstein story, and a lot of other people who were directly involved are still walking free. That’s unacceptable.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govFeb 27(source)
This investigation was up and running from 2010 until at least 2015. We need to know the results. Did it result in any charges being brought against the targets? Why did it end, and when? Did the first Trump administration squash it?
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govFeb 27(source)
The document is a 69-page memorandum written by a highly specialized DOJ task force charged with busting transnational organized crime. It’s way too heavily redacted. First off, I want the complete, unredacted memo.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govFeb 27(source)
This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.
Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation
Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govFeb 24(source)
Also worth noting that the document detailed here came from a highly specialized DEA unit called the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces. The Trump administration defunded and shut it down in 2025.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govFeb 24(source)
The document described here is a big development that expands our understanding of Epstein's criminal activities, but remains too redacted. We know the Trump administration is covering up for Epstein's pedophile buddies. This is evidence they're covering up for drug cartels too.
Jeffrey Epstein was the subject of a DEA probe that spanned at least 5 years, heavily redacted document reveals

We have no bigger obligation than to look after each other. That's why I introduced the Nurses Belong in Nursing Homes Act with @wyden.senate.gov to restore safe staffing ratios in nursing homes for the 1.2 million Americans and their families that rely on them.

Accountability for literal royalty in the UK. Meanwhile our president and attorney general are protecting ultra-rich pedophiles instead of bringing them to justice

Breaking News: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew, was arrested in Britain on suspicion of misconduct in public office over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, the BBC said.

Visitors to our country should not face a digital shakedown. @wyden.senate.gov and I are calling on CBP to reverse its invasive proposal to collect five years of social media history from travelers from trusted partner nations.

My investigators saw a large number of his financial documents at the Treasury Department in 2024. But Scott Bessent now has the complete set under lock and key, blocking further investigation. I'm leading the charge to get them handed over.

Oregon Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden introduced a bill that would levy a 100% tax on any payout the president receives from his lawsuit over leaked tax information that showed he paid just $750 in federal income tax one year.

A year into RFK Jr.’s disastrous run at HHS, the results are exactly what we thought: instability, dangerous misinformation, and weakened public health. I worked with @wyden.senate.gov on a 71-page report documenting the consequences of this chaotic year. Accountability matters.
