4,700 Money Transfers Totalling Over $1.9 Billion Tied To Epstein
A new report by the Treasury Department details over 4,700 money transfers connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
The transactions, totalling over $1.9 billion, were flagged by four major banks: JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Bank of New York Mellon, and Bank of America. The transactions cover a period dating back to 2003.
According to the New York Times, the confidential nature of the financial reports, known as Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), limits public access to the details.
Senator Ron Wyden has been calling for the release of the financial transactions and for the DOJ to investigate the reasons behind large payments from ultra-wealthy individuals to Epstein.
Trump DOJ still refuses to release the Epstein files.
Last night, a drone strike on Okhtyrka in the Sumy region injured 14 people. A family with wounded children – 5 months, 4 years, and 6 years old – sought assistance after the attack. In Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, a glide bomb strike damaged five apartment buildings, and at least three people still remain under the rubble. The rescue operation continues. There was also a treacherous strike on a gas distribution station in the Odesa region. Shelling also targeted the Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Poltava regions. In total, more than 60 drones and a ballistic missile were used.
All of these are demonstrative strikes that only confirm the need to put pressure on Moscow, the need to impose new sanctions and tariffs until diplomacy is fully effective. I thank all partners who are helping to stop this Russian war. Together with the United States, Europe, and all those who seek peace, we are working every day to guarantee security. We need strong security guarantees to ensure a truly reliable and lasting peace.
The "End of Watch" or "Final Call" commemorates the date of an officer's death in the line of duty or by illness. The officer is honored by an "End of Watch" final call made by dispatch. On behalf of all of us at the BCSO, we present End of Watch for Lt. Chad King of the BCSO.
The White House has a secret blacklist of U.S. companies — basically based on how loudly they praise Trump, according to Axios.
I know folks are nervous about the word “authoritarian.”
But a “loyalty scorecard” sounds pretty damn authoritarian to me.
NEW: The law firms Paul Weiss and Kirkland and Ellis -- that both made deals with Trump earlier this year to head off potentially crippling executive orders -- are doing free legal work for Trump's Commerce Department. w/@maggieNYT@MattGoldstein26 https://t.co/g0YqkQeLMQ
@OldManLefty1 Trump has turned the White House into a cheap Vegas wedding background. Pathetic. I hope the next occupant visibly rips out all the cheap gold in front of every major TV media on live TV. I just can’t believe the cult of Trump even exists in this country.
Dear Democrats:
Tariffs are really unpopular: 31% favorable, 59% unfavorable.
Attack Trump’s tariffs.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Bill Barr—the AG when Epstein died—was in the hot seat today. But let me remind you: DOJ owes us the Epstein files beginning tomorrow. All of them. Client list included.
No delays. No redactions. No excuses. Anything less is a coverup. The American people deserve the truth, and the victims deserve better.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” and take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Texas Republicans have lost their damn minds.
This may all end in tears but its an enormous credit to Zelensky that in barely an instant Europe's leaders flew across the world to all stand beside him at the White House.
Zelenskyy just answered Ukrainian journalists' questions in Washington DC. It is noticeable that he can't say much, but he seems calm and satisfied with the meeting overall. Here are the key points:
- This was the best meeting we've had with Trump.
- Security guarantees are the key issue and the starting point for ending the war.
- The U.S. will be a participant in security guarantees for Ukraine. I can't go into details, but it's important that a political decision has been made.
- Russia first proposed a bilateral meeting between Ukraine and the Russian Federation, and then a trilateral one.
- Point number two: the return of children. The First Lady of America, and everyone, will get involved in the return of children. The U.S. President will also help me with an 'all for all' exchange.(meaning PoWs and civilians)
- We don't know the details of the bilateral meeting. With the U.S., we discussed that all sides must demonstrate a desire to end the war. This is a diplomatic meeting at the leader level. If Russian side shows no such desire, we will act accordingly.
- I believe we should meet without any conditions. Because if we start demanding a ceasefire beforehand, Russia will start making a hundred other demands.
- We are confident that the war will end. It's important to us that this is not just a pause in the fighting, but real peace that can be protected by security guarantees.
- The question of territories is a question we will leave for me and Putin.
- The American weapons package includes, first and foremost, planes, air defense systems, and so on. There's a package worth $90 billion that is part of security guarantees (EU expected to finance this)
- No unacceptable decisions were made.
- The details of the security guarantees will be worked out within 10 days.
Very troubling that the president of the United States clearly doesn’t understand what’s at stake in Ukraine.
Do we stand with democracy or with autocracy?
The world is watching.
It’s been 105 years since America finally gave women the constitutional right to vote, a milestone that launched decades more struggle until women across the country could fully exercise that right. That only happened because of a lot of brave, patriotic Americans. We have to carry on that legacy as we keep fighting to defend the right to vote.
"I refuse to sign. I will not agree to be in DPS custody. I'm not a criminal. I am exercising my right to resist and oppose the decisions of our government. So this is my form of protest." - State Rep. Nicole Collier @fox7austin
I’m from Donbas.
I remember Ukrainian songs in school.
I remember books, not bunkers.
Don’t tell me we were “always russian.”
I was there.
We lived.
Then russians invaded.
Trump kept looking up and down the table asking where the President of Finland was. President Stubb finally had to call Trump’s attention to himself, even though he was sitting directly across from him.
Thanks you, MSNBC. I love Jamie Raskin, but it was high time someone asked him…or anyone else talking about it, “But who is going to ENFORCE these Constitutional Amendments?!”
This reminds me of 2019 when the GOP speaker tried to lock Democrats on the House floor, there were several of us so we were able to push our way out. Doing this is some seriously depraved and insane shit.
Everyone RETWEET if you stand with Texas State House Member Nicole Collier after she refused to Republican demand of 24/7 police escort after returning from Chicago to broke quorum for Texas Redistricting!
