US lawmakers are seeking answers about how Jeffrey Epstein maintained access to major financial institutions. On 15 October 2026, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Robert Garcia introduced the Epstein Wall Street Records Act alongside bipartisan lawmakers, including Republican Representative Thomas Massie.

The bill would require financial regulators to disclose relevant records, investigate potential violations involving Epstein-connected banks and executives, and pursue penalties where legally justified. Evidence of possible criminal violations could be referred to the Department of Justice.
