Today, Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF) released the following statement after the House of Representatives voted to release all Justice Department information on associates of financier and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. This group is already known to include several billionaires. Some of them—including private equity investor Leon Black—paid Epstein for financial and tax advice that supposedly saved them billions. ATF urged the Senate to follow suit and President Trump to sign the law forcing disclosure of the Epstein files.

“The American people have the right to know to the fullest extent to which billionaires were involved with Jeffrey Epstein, especially if their relationship continued after his first arrest in 2014,” said David Kass, ATF’s executive director. “Whether those billionaires employed Epstein to dodge their fair share of taxes or evade taxes legally owed—or whether their relationship with him instead demonstrates their lack of regard for rules of common decency that govern the rest of us—the Epstein affair shows again how billionaires are harming our society and why we should bring them to heel through effective taxation.”
