Senator Ron Wyden told Attorney General Todd Blanche and the FBI director on Wednesday that the FBI holds a written record of an interview with a banker tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and that the Justice Department left it out of everything it released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Wyden put it in one sentence: "Investigators from my staff recently learned that the FBI possesses an FBI 302 report memorializing an interview with a banker tied to Epstein that was conducted as part of a criminal investigation into Epstein and his associates." A 302 is the form an FBI agent fills out after questioning a witness. Wyden says it is "not included in the documents DOJ has released."
He did not name the banker. He did not name the bank. He gave no date for the interview and did not say which Epstein investigation produced it. Wyden wrote two pages and put none of those four facts on either.
What Wyden did say is that one hidden interview means more. "The existence of this 302 indicates that it is likely that the FBI possesses additional, related, FBI 302s," he wrote, and he demanded "all FBI 302 reports related to investigations into Epstein and his associates, including but not limited to 302s generated from interviews with employees of JPMC, Deutsche Bank and Bank of America." No deadline. "Immediately."
Wyden went further in his press release: Trump and Blanche "have illegally hidden the report from the public and Congress." That is Wyden's charge. No court and no inspector general has ruled on it.
So who has the FBI already admitted talking to about Epstein, and who is missing from that list?
