Revealed: Emails Show Close Ties Between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein

The recent release of over 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, has brought to light a notable exchange of emails between Steve Bannon, former chief strategist for Donald Trump, and Epstein.

In November 2018, as Bannon was preparing for a speech at the Oxford Union, he found himself surrounded by protesters. In an email to Epstein, he remarked on the protesters' impact on his schedule, to which Epstein responded with flight information, asserting, There is a gulf air that leaves at 950 with a stop in Bahrain. Bannon duly noted, responding, U r an amazing assistant, a statement that gestures towards a more personal rapport than just that of professional acquaintances.

Among the documents released, further discussions between Bannon and Epstein reveal a deeper connection beyond mere biographer-subject dynamics, with Epstein seemingly acting in a personal assistant role, even suggesting travel arrangements for Bannon. Bannon acknowledged he had been working on a film about Epstein prior to the latter’s death.

Furthermore, the emails indicate that Bannon was involved in political discussions related to UK politics during the same period, exchanging views on Brexit and referencing key political figures such as Boris Johnson and Theresa May.

Bannon, while he has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, chose not to comment when contacted by the BBC for this story. These developments have reignited interest in Epstein's ties with public figures, as the House of Representatives prepares to vote on the release of files related to Epstein's past interactions.

As more insights emerge, the intertwining pathways of Bannon and Epstein’s lives set a complex backdrop against the political climate that defined their times.
