The Trump administration is pulling investigators off of child exploitation and sex trafficking cases. Given Donald Trump's track record with Jeffrey Epstein, it shouldn't be a surprise that he's willing to let sex traffickers off the hook.

New: Sen. Wyden is asking DHS to investigate reports of HSI agents being moved from child exploitation cases to immigration cases. 0 of the 6 child protection orgs I contacted for this story would comment. One said it was because they feared retribution from Trump: www.wired.com/story/senato...

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is getting worse by the day. I've joined my Senate colleagues in calling on the Trump administration for a massive expansion of humanitarian aid to Gaza, and to resume diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and end the war.
Democrats implore Trump to step up role in addressing suffering and starvation in Gaza

The Senate just passed my bill by UC to release this report to the public, to end this cover-up by CISA. Now the House needs to pass my bill so the public can see how shockingly insecure our phone system is. Then the government must hold phone companies accountable for failing cybersecurity 101.

Republicans aren’t even trying to defend their bill anymore. Just straight up lying and hoping people fall for it.

WELKER: Why would Josh Hawley introduce a bill to roll back cuts in Medicaid if there are not cuts in Medicaid? He says the people in his state are going to suffer MIKE JOHNSON: I will tell you that the one big beautiful bill safeguards the program

I've successfully pressed Flock, a license plate surveillance company, to protect Oregonians from abusive queries of data by out-of-state law enforcement. This surveillance is a massive privacy problem, and I'll keep working to expand these same protections to every American.
Wyden secures deal to shield Oregonians from out-of-state surveillance via traffic cams
The agreement is aimed at protecting Oregonians' data from being misused by law enforcement agencies in other states, such as in cases with abortion and immigration.

A stunning 39% of parents say they can’t afford back-to-school shopping this year. 44% of parents plan to take on debt during back-to-school shopping. More than 50% of parents plan to sacrifice necessities like groceries to ensure their child has what they need for school.

My investigators also found that several ultra-wealthy Wall Street financiers, including Leon Black, paid Jeffrey Epstein hundreds of millions of dollars. There's a clear paper trail here between Epstein and these guys, and DOJ needs to follow the money to figure out why.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJul 23(source)
Trump's DOJ needs to demand more documents and more answers from banks that worked with Epstein. That includes investigating how Epstein used shady, sanctioned Russian banks to send hundreds of millions of payments likely linked to sex trafficking.
Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govJul 23(source)
EPSTEIN LATEST: In light of what we released last week from my staff's investigation, I'm handing Trump's DOJ a ready-made case with seven different lines of investigation for them to follow the money on Jeffrey Epstein.
