Sen. Ron Wyden, expected to chair the Senate Finance Committee, says bank executives will be made to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan Chase is a first focus, and the banks deny wrongdoing.
Chairman James Comer, a Republican, released a committee report saying federal failures let Epstein's crimes continue after 2005. It asks the Justice Department to re-interview witnesses and give survivors unredacted records.
A federal judge in Miami ruled Saturday that President Trump did not prove the paper acted with actual malice in reporting on a letter the Journal said bore his name in a 2003 album for Jeffrey Epstein. The dismissal with prejudice is a rare courtroom loss for the president and a win for press freedom.
House Judiciary Committee Democrats released a staff report Monday saying there is enough evidence for a criminal investigation. The White House denies the allegations, and Democrats admit Trump's Justice Department is unlikely to act.
