Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) urged the Drug Enforcement Administration to disclose more information related to Jeffrey Epstein after the government released files showing the agency had investigated the financier for years.
The recently released files from the Justice Department indicated Epstein and 14 other unnamed individuals were listed as subjects of a DEA investigation that lasted for at least five years. The Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force’s investigation scrutinized concerns that the suspects were orchestrating drug and prostitution networks involving “illegitimate wire transfers.” Key details are redacted in the files, and it appears charges were never brought against Epstein, leading Wyden to express concern about transparency and demand the DEA release more data to the public regarding the case, including the redacted names of individuals who appeared to collaborate with Epstein.
