The American people deserve to know who funded Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes.
Our bombshell new report explains the role Wall Street elites played in enabling and protecting Epstein.
We're fighting for the full release of the Treasury Department’s Epstein Files.
A new report from a Democratic US senator cites nonpublic US Treasury documents to accuse major banks of 'looking the other way' on Epstein's suspicious transactions. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

WATCH: Wyden grills Secretary Bessent over his Treasury Department’s cover up of Epstein’s financial records.
WYDEN: “Senate Investigators are trying to figure out who paid Epstein for GIRLS, and unfortunately, Secretary Bessent is preventing that from happening.”

I get a kick out of the idea of Scott Bessent going to farmers and saying "I'm just like you!"
Smith: How do you respond to Minnesota farmers who cannot afford the fertilizer they need?
Bessent: The definition of a farmer is someone who owns a farm and farmed the land so as a former farmer I will tell you…. There is no doubt farmers have been struggling but there was a record crop last year and what to record crops lead to? Lower prices.
Smith: I will take that back to my producers in Minnesota, that they have somebody in this department of treasury, a former farmer, who is feeling their pain.

Can you be more out of touch? This administration has literally made everything more expensive with tariffs and war. Yet they have the audacity to turn around and tell you everything is great.

Secretary Bessent won't admit that it's a conflict of interest for President Trump to trade stocks at the same time he makes decisions affecting those stocks.
He knows better.

Watch @SenatorHassan lay out to multimillionaire Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that Americans are paying more at the grocery store, the gas pump, and for health care, and are losing jobs because of this administration’s policies.
WARREN: “If these stock purchases that Trump made were made using inside information would that be illegal?”
BESSENT: “I am not a lawyer. I am not going to speak to that.”
WARREN: “You don’t have to be a lawyer.”
HASSAN: “The President requested A BILLION DOLLARS for [his] ballroom in our budget, and he spent $45 million on a military birthday parade.”
BESSENT: “It is national security matters that the billions dollars are for.”
HASSAN: “That’s ridiculous and I think you know it.”
WYDEN: "Todd Blanche let Trump off the hook for potentially $100 million in back taxes.
Then he let the ENTIRE Trump family...off the hook for any tax crimes.
As of right now, everybody in America is subject to audit, except the Trump family."

SWIFT OPPOSITION: There are now House *and* Senate bills to impose 100% tax on payouts from Trump’s $1.8 billion fund for convicted crooks
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) & Ron Wyden (D-OR) have just introduced their version
Rep. Mike Thompson (D-CA) already has bill in House
This administration is dripping with corruption.
Trump is rushing a settlement with the IRS to STEAL $1.7 billion from American Taxpayers.
He's trying to cash in on his junk lawsuit before a judge can throw it out.
President Trump is expected to drop his $10 billion IRS suit in exchange for the creation of a $1.7 billion fund for victims of governmental "weaponization," sources say. abcnews.link/vP96T9V
Trump promised to cut costs for Americans on day one.
INSTEAD, the inflation rate just hit 3.8%, the highest it’s been in THREE YEARS.
This is an economy made by and for the Epstein Class.
RFK: "Millions of people who are using TrumpRx disagree with you."
Warren: "They’ve got a 1 out of 4 chance of paying more at TrumpRx than they would if they went to Costco."
TrumpRx is one giant grift.
HASSAN: Did the president approve your decision to fire the CDC's vaccine committee members in June 2025?
RFK JR: Yes he did
HASSAN: You also made changes to the vaccine committee charter. Did Trump authorize you to do that?
RFK JR: I don't know if it made it to the President
Last year was the deadliest year on record for kids with the flu in modern history.
@SenatorBennet: “The vast majority of kids that died from the flu were people without vaccines.”
