Senate Bill Would Force Release of Epstein Financial Records to Congress

Officially: Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act

The Treasury Department would have to turn over all suspicious-activity reports linked to Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to Senate leaders within 30 days. Congress would also get reports showing which banks filed alerts, who was named, and whether the government actually investigated.

Where it stands

Sitting in Finance

No vote scheduled. Constituent contact is what moves bills out of committee.

What this bill actually does

The Treasury Secretary must deliver physical copies of all relevant suspicious-activity reports (SARs) to the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Banking Committee.
Treasury has a hard 30-day deadline after the bill becomes law to provide these SARs.
The bill covers SARs tied to Jeffrey Epstein, anyone charged or uncharged as a co-conspirator, and any third party that did financial business with him or entities he owned or controlled.

↓ Why your message matters here

This bill is sitting in committee with no scheduled vote — which means a small number of constituent messages can decide whether it moves forward or quietly dies.

The debate

What people are saying about this bill

✓Arguments in support

Promotes Transparency: Supporters argue that the bill enhances government accountability by making important financial records public, which could help uncover financial crimes.
Aids Victims: By providing more evidence, the bill could support ongoing legal actions and help victims of Epstein's crimes seek justice.
Strengthens Oversight: The bill forces the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to share data with Congress, improving oversight and preventing executive branch stonewalling.

✕Arguments against

Undermines Financial Privacy: Critics worry that releasing these reports could discourage banks from filing SARs in the future, as they rely on confidentiality to protect innocent parties.
Selective Disclosure Concerns: There is a fear that this could set a precedent for targeting individuals without due process, potentially politicizing financial oversight.
Limited New Insights: Some argue that much of the relevant information is already public, and the SARs may not provide new or actionable insights.
