"The video was shot some time in 2019 before Epstein's arrest on federal sex trafficking charges that led to his suicide in a Manhattan jail cell. According to Melber, the video adds important context to Friday's photo dump from the Epstein estate that shows the two men together. Here, Bannon is aware of how much trouble Epstein is in and how much criticism there is of his past conduct, and he wants to help him, Melber said."
"Melber showed a 2019 email exchange in which Epstein wrote, The Christians I met with feel, the media portraying me as beyond redemption is deeply troubling and offensive. Bannon wrote back, we must counter rapist who traffics in female children to be raped by the world's most powerful, richest men' that can't be redeemed. Can't redeem unredeemable you are a lot of things which we will show but you are NOT that."
A 2019 video captures Steve Bannon confronting Jeffrey Epstein while appearing to work to rehabilitate Epstein’s reputation amid serious accusations. The footage predates Epstein's federal arrest on sex trafficking charges and his subsequent suicide in a Manhattan jail cell, and it contextualizes photographs showing the two men together. Epstein had taken a 2008 Florida plea deal to avoid a looming federal indictment and served 13 months. A 2019 email exchange shows Epstein objecting to media portrayals as beyond redemption and Bannon pushing back, arguing Epstein was 'NOT that.' Bannon recorded roughly 15 hours of Epstein footage for a purported documentary; a trailer surfaced in 2021 but no full film was released.
