Episode Description from the Publisher

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent opened a Senate Finance Committee hearing by going directly after Sen. Ron Wyden, accusing him of attacking the Treasury Department over Epstein-related financial records while ignoring his own son’s past contact with Jeffrey Epstein. Bessent pointed to Adam Wyden’s 2016 meeting at Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, where Wyden reportedly sought backing for his hedge fund, and referenced an email included in released DOJ files. The confrontation came as Wyden has continued pressing Treasury over Epstein’s suspicious financial activity reports and broader money trail, arguing that the department is withholding material that could shed light on Epstein’s network.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent opened a Senate Finance Committee hearing by going directly after Sen.
