| 0:00.0 | I'm John Batchel with my good colleague Craig Unger, who has taken on the pursuit of Jeffrey Epstein's money. I did not know how much is not known. That's one of the major revelations |
| 0:27.6 | of her piece, Craig. We don't know things that should be obvious by this time. But they're not. |
| 0:33.8 | Absolutely. They're not. So what questions, you're speaking right to Congress now, Craig. |
| 0:40.1 | What questions do you want them to ask first about the money? |
| 0:43.3 | Well, I want them to go right to the Treasury Department and get Scott Besson to reveal the SARs from Chase. |
| 0:51.6 | It's J.P. Morgan Chase. |
| 0:52.8 | There was, Epstein did have retail banking in the |
| 0:59.2 | Chase side of it. So there were suspicious activities reports filed from there. And J.P. Morgan Chase |
| 1:07.1 | should have those documents. They were supposed to file them with the Treasury Department, |
| 1:12.1 | and there's no reason why the government shouldn't be able to get them, and they're very important. |

| 1:26.5 | Well, Bear Stearns collapsed. It no longer existed. And it was followed up by J.P. Morgan. |
| 1:34.0 | So again, Morgan has to have those records. And they has to have them because they were the |
| 1:40.5 | guarantor of security for liquid funding. So they would have to have them. Moreover, |
| 1:47.1 | remember, J.P. Morgan Chase swallowed up Bear Stearns, and Bear Stearns owned 40% of liquid funding. |
| 1:55.7 | So, again, it would have had to have had those records. And the question then about this investigation going forward, we have Congress, they have |
| 2:05.0 | the power of the subpoena, and they can reach out and get those records if they're not |
| 2:11.4 | already a justice, correct? There's nothing to stop them. |
| 2:14.7 | There's absolutely nothing to stop them except, I mean, what we've noticed is, |
| 2:19.1 | of course, the Trump administration has not been delivering the Epstein files. And all we've |
| 2:28.3 | learned in the last month is that there were millions more files that the government has not yet released. |
