"Newly released emails linked to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and President Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon are reviving questions and scrutiny about the unreleased hours of image-changing footage he's reported to have shot with the disgraced financier shortly before his 2019 arrest. On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee's Democrats published a database of messages to and from Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019 while facing sex-trafficking charges."
"In the emails, Epstein even weighed in on the 2018 confirmation hearings for Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, advising Bannon to challenge the credibility of Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who testified against Kavanaugh for sexual assault, suggesting that she could be accused of taking medications that cause memory loss. The messages reignite curiosity about Bannon's self-reported 1215 hours of recorded conversations with Epstein."
"One July 2018 email published in Politico shows Epstein pitching Bannon on overseas access: There are many leaders of countries we can organize for you to have one-on-ones, he wrote. The following month, Epstein again urged him to come to Europe. Bannon replied with a striking warning: Yes. But let's discuss there is a crazed jihad against u I've never seen anything like it. In another message, he added, Somebody big has u in the gunsights."
A newly published trove of emails shows multiple direct exchanges between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon, indicating a more active relationship than previously documented. The messages include Epstein pitching Bannon on overseas access and urging travel to Europe, and Bannon warning of threats including a “crazed jihad” and that “Somebody big has u in the gunsights.” Epstein suggested strategies to challenge Christine Blasey Ford's credibility during the Kavanaugh hearings. The releases by House Democrats and Republican tranches have reignited scrutiny of unreleased footage Epstein reportedly recorded and Bannon's claimed 1,215 hours of recorded conversations.
