A top House Democrat asked four major bank CEOs to share a slew of financial records related to Jeffrey Epstein, pushing forward an investigation into the notorious sex predator, after the lawmaker’s effort to subpoena the banks for the documents was blocked by Republicans.

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., in letters to the CEOs obtained by CNBC, asked how Epstein and his co-conspirators could have conducted a reported $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions “for years without ever being caught.”

The letters were sent on Wednesday to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Bank of America chief Brian Moynihan, Deutsche Bank leader Christian Sewing and Bank of New York Mellon CEO Robin Vince.

The wealthy financier and sex offender, who was once a friend of Trump's, died by suicide while in jail facing federal child sex trafficking charges in 2019.

Did he though?

No one killed him. He was allowed to kill himself. Why send an assassin when you merely need to turn a blind eye?

He killed himself with a noose made of prison wear two weeks after being strangled with a noose made of prison wear by his ex-cop roommate?

I was just listening to a podcast about this and there were multiple nooses, that were discovered moved before anyone even came to investigate. Then the investigators were told to investigate a suicide.
