"The tranche - more than 8,500 documents including phone logs, flight manifests and daily schedules - suggests that Epstein maintained ties with more of the world's wealthiest and most politically connected figures than previously known after his 2007 plea deal that forced him to register as a sex offender. The documents don't necessarily implicate wrongdoing by Musk, Thiel, Bannon, or others mentioned. Still, the schedules highlight how Epstein's social circle included tech moguls, financiers, royals, and political strategists years after his first conviction."
"A December 2014 schedule includes the entry: "Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)." At the time, Epstein owned a private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands that became infamous for serving as the site of sex trafficking. Later entries show Epstein penciling in a lunch with Thiel, the billionaire venture capitalist and GOP donor, on November 27, 2017, and a breakfast with Bannon on February 16, 2019 - just months before Epstein was charged with sex trafficking."
House Oversight Committee Democrats released more than 8,500 records from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, including phone logs, flight manifests, and daily schedules. Those records list Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon on Epstein's calendars in years before Epstein's 2019 arrest, indicating ongoing social ties after Epstein's 2007 plea deal. Entries include a December 2014 note about Elon Musk traveling to Epstein's private island, a November 27, 2017 lunch penciled with Thiel, and a February 16, 2019 breakfast with Bannon. The documents do not necessarily imply wrongdoing by those named. Democrats described the release as a step toward transparency.
