New york: A new collection of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, released on Friday, highlights the involvement of several prominent Americans, including tech billionaires and advisors to former President Donald Trump.
According to Philippines News Agency, the documents, which originate from Epstein’s estate and were published by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, mention Elon Musk, the former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency; advisor Steven Bannon; tech mogul Peter Thiel; former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates; and British Prince Andrew. The documents provide insight into their interactions with Epstein.
One entry dated December 6, 2014, notes Musk visiting an “island,” accompanied by a note questioning, “is this still happening?” The day before, there was a “tentative” breakfast party listed with Gates. Thiel, the venture capitalist behind Palantir Technologies, is documented to have had a lunch meeting with Epstein on November 27, 2017. Bannon is noted in the schedule for a February 16, 2019, breakfast with Epstein. Additionally, Prince Andrew is listed as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet.
“Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes. It’s past time for Attorney General Bondi to release all the files now,” added Oversight Democrats spokesperson Sara Guerrero. She emphasized the importance of uncovering the full extent of Epstein’s network and connections.
The latest document release is the third batch received from Epstein’s estate. It includes phone records, flight logs, financial ledgers, and Epstein’s daily schedule. The panel’s Democrats noted that redactions were made to protect the identities of victims, and a review is currently ongoing.
