yahoo news | Unearthed emails reveal Dem senator's son wanted Epstein to join his fund:...

Sen. Ron Wyden (D‑Ore.) has spent months publicly pressuring President Trump and the Justice Department to release Jeffrey Epstein’s records, claiming his “follow‑the‑money” probe ties the financier’s activities back to the former president. New documents released by the DOJ, however, show a personal connection: an April 2016 email chain reveals that Wyden’s son, Adam, met Epstein at the billionaire’s Manhattan mansion to pitch backing for Adam’s private investment vehicle, ADW Capital. The emails, written after Epstein’s conviction as a child‑sex‑offender was already public, include Adam’s gratitude for the meeting and a request for Epstein to join his fund.

The correspondence also includes logistical details of the meeting, with a ledger marking the appointment for 10:00 a.m. on April 28, 2016, and noting Adam as “Jonathon Farkas’ friend,” linking the younger Wyden to another figure with known ties to Epstein. Adam Wyden did not respond to Fox News requests for comment. When approached, Sen. Wyden said he does not discuss his children’s business activities and reiterated that his investigation, begun four years ago, remains unchanged and focused on transparency and accountability.

Wyden continued to criticize banks and the Trump administration for allegedly ignoring or “sleepwalking” through Epstein’s financial dealings, urging stronger watchdog measures and proposing legislation to hold banks accountable for turning a blind eye to illegal activity. The revelation that his son sought investment from Epstein adds a personal dimension to the senator’s broader call for scrutiny of the financier’s network, even as Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex‑trafficking charges.
