What to know

  • Democrats introduced the Epstein Wall Street Records Act, requiring the Federal Reserve and other regulators to disclose Epstein-related records and investigate banks that worked with him.
  • The bill is explicitly framed around the midterms: it is unlikely to pass now, but would gain force if Democrats retake the House and/or Senate, putting Warren and Garcia in committee chairs.
  • JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America paid over $437 million combined to settle victims' lawsuits, but only Deutsche Bank has been fined by a regulator ($150 million in 2020).
  • The measure shifts congressional scrutiny from Epstein's personal associates, the focus of this year's House Oversight probe, toward the banks that processed his transactions.
