Bipartisan Lawmakers Introduce Bill to Investigate Epstein-Linked Banks and Ban Responsible Executives

A bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has introduced the 'Epstein Wall Street Records Act,' a bill aimed at compelling federal financial regulators to release Jeffrey Epstein-related records, investigate banks and executives tied to his financial network, and pursue penalties for any violations found. The legislation, introduced on October 15, 2026, would apply to agencies such as the Federal Reserve, FDIC, OCC, and SEC, requiring them to disclose supervisory records and examine potential banking, securities, and illicit-finance violations. Executives found responsible for qualifying violations could face civil penalties or industry bans, with evidence of federal crimes referred to the Justice Department.
