These reports, known as Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), contain sensitive information and require specific handling. The Treasury Department assured the committee of its commitment to transparency and compliance with legal requirements. The investigation aims to follow Epstein's financial trail to ensure accountability for survivors and the public.
