Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

    Yeah people still run forward to lick his boots when he gets criticised so I figure it worked quite well.

    Any links to that PR exercise? I love reading about those things. People should be aware that rich people DO have PR companies managing their names. A famous case is when musk bought into the PR about himself and fired the PR team because why have one when you’re that fantastic, right?

        Yeah the Bill & Melinda Foundation. “I gave away billions”! To yourself, to avoid taxes. Smart and evil.

          That foundation has done a lot of wonderful things, I’ve known people that have worked there. I think the credit goes to Melinda, not Bill.

            They have done a lot of horrible things like buying up and locking IP for the medical research too. There is a reason research people stay away from Bill and Melinda and their strings attached.

            But you just have to come to their rescue. Interesting. Are you American?
