If you saw Donald Trump posting on social media about Amelia Earhart, just know that poor Amelia was only his latest distraction from yet another round of Jeffrey Epstein news. Congress continues to probe the Trump-Epstein connection and they have continued to request more information from Epstein’s estate (which I believe is controlled by Mark Epstein, Jeffrey’s brother). Well, on Friday, the Epstein estate released a cache of documents to Congress, including Jeffrey Epstein’s written schedule throughout the 2010s, and some flight logs too. Prince Andrew is featured prominently (of course), but Epstein was also meeting with Elon Musk, Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel.

Democratic lawmakers on Friday released documents from the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that may show interactions between the disgraced financier and prominent conservatives, including Elon Musk, Steve Bannon and Peter Thiel.

The six pages of documents made public with redactions come from a batch provided by the justice department to the House oversight committee, which is investigating how the sex-trafficking charges against Epstein, who died in 2019 in federal custody, were handled.

Copies of Epstein’s calendar released by the committee’s Democratic minority show a breakfast planned with Bannon, an influential Donald Trump ally, in February 2019. Other schedules mention a lunch with Thiel in November 2017 and a potential trip by Musk to Epstein’s private island in December 2014.

A manifest from 2000 for Epstein’s plane includes Prince Andrew, whose relationship with Epstein is well documented, while a financial disclosure the Democrats released shows Epstein paying someone listed as “Andrew” for “Massage, Exercise, Yoga” that same year.

Earlier this year, Musk accused Trump of being in the so-called “Epstein files” on social media after the tech mogul criticized Trump’s tax and spending legislation. Then in July, Musk publicly said: “How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?”

Pointing to the significance of the latest records’ release, Sara Guerrero, a spokesperson for the oversight committee, said: “It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”

Meanwhile, Eric Swalwell, a Democratic representative of California, wrote on X following the records’ release, saying: “Trump OUTS @elonmusk as being in Epstein Files. Revenge for Elon outing Trump? Elon, what do you know about Trump’s involvement?”

Wait… Steve Bannon had a meeting with Epstein in February 2019? Epstein was then arrested again on July 6, and he was in jail in New York for five weeks before he died in custody. In those five weeks, several Trump officials went to speak to Epstein in person, possibly including Trump’s then-Attorney General Bill Barr (apparently, this has been denied, but there’s a real Mandela Effect about this – Barr absolutely visited Epstein in custody, I remember it happening, I remember the reporting at the time). So… let’s get to the bottom of this – why was Bannon meeting with Epstein just months before Epstein was rearrested?

As for Musk and Thiel – quelle surprise, fork found in kitchen. Two batsh-t crazy South Africans with really screwed up sexual pathologies magically found themselves drawn to a convicted pedophile with an island full of trafficked children. Don’t let Andrew off the hook either, I don’t care if the notation is from 2000. Andrew was on the island!
