Democrats Demand Probe into Epstein, Thiel Financial Ties
A new bill, the Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act (PETRA), is demanding a congressional investigation into the financial ties between Peter Thiel and Jeffrey Epstein. Introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden, the bill aims to compel the Treasury Department to release documents related to Epstein’s finances, which included significant investments in a Thiel-backed firm. Wyden’s bill also seeks to uncover potential violations of anti-money laundering laws by J.P. Morgan and other banks. The bill is attached to the National Defense Authorization Act, ensuring all senators will have to publicly vote on whether to release information about Epstein’s associates.
