The chairman of the U.S. House Oversight Committee,
Congressman James Comer, reported that his team has analyzed tens of thousands
of bank documents as part of an investigation into the financial dealings of
the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the Republican lawmaker from Kentucky, the
committee has reviewed approximately 44,000 records requested from financial
institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank. Based on a preliminary
analysis of this documentation, congressional investigators have identified at
least 64 entities that allegedly had some type of financial or administrative
relationship with Epstein.
Comer noted that the investigation is ongoing and that
banking institutions continue to provide new files and records that could shed
more light on the money flows associated with the businessman. According to the
congressman, the committee's goal is to accurately reconstruct the path of the
financial transactions and determine if broader networks of support or cover-up
existed.
The congressman also stressed that the committee will
maintain its efforts to trace financial movements related to the case, stating
that the priority of the investigation is to clarify how the economic
operations around Epstein were structured and what organizations or people may
have been directly or indirectly involved.
