West Palm Beach, FL: During a hearing with Epstein survivors and advocates on May 12, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi demanded the release of additional Treasury Department records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network and reiterated his opposition to any potential clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell.
During the hearing, “Survivors Fight for Justice: Exposing Epstein’s Crimes in Palm Beach and Across the World,” Krishnamoorthi pressed witnesses on unreleased Suspicious Activity Reports tied to Epstein’s financial activity, additional DOJ evidence that has yet to be publicly disclosed, and accountability for individuals connected to Epstein’s abuse network who have not been charged.
“The Senate Finance Committee has found Epstein made wire transfers that are detailed in these Suspicious Activity Reports — SARs reports — to the tune of $1.5 billion, with a ‘B,’ and include the names of women and girls he may have trafficked, as well as the names of his potential clients,” Krishnamoorthi said.
“If we’re serious about following the money, I believe that these SARs reports must be disclosed by the U.S. Treasury Department now. Immediately. Today.”
Krishnamoorthi also forcefully rejected any potential clemency for Maxwell.
“Maxwell hasn’t shown any guilt, hasn’t shown any remorse, hasn’t shown any ounce of accountability for what she did,” Krishnamoorthi said. “I’ve introduced a House resolution condemning clemency for Ghislaine Maxwell. I hope everyone here will join me because we have to do everything in our power to block a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.”
Addressing President Trump directly, Krishnamoorthi added: “Donald Trump, I’m calling on you to listen to survivors, release all of the documents, unredact all these people, prosecute the rest of these people, and investigate the remaining enablers.”
“In addition, Ghislaine Maxwell should never ever ever receive clemency,” Krishnamoorthi continued. “That monster should not be given pardon.”
The hearing featured testimony from Epstein survivors and advocates, including Danielle Bensky, Courtney Wild, Jean-Lisa Jones, Lauren Hersh, and Spencer Kuvin.
