https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/14/jeffrey-epstein-steve-bannonThe convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein apparently served as a behind-the-scenes adviser to the former Trump official and Maga influencer Steve Bannon during an August 2018 media campaign to defend Trump and his agenda, and to promote Bannons media ventures.
Text messages released by the House oversight committee on Wednesday detail a six-day exchange between the men from 17 to 23 August, and show Epstein coaching Bannon on television appearances and political messaging.
One side of the conversation is sent from an iMessage account associated with an Epstein email address, and while the name of Epsteins correspondent is redacted in the documents as released, contextual clues including references to Fox News appearances, his August 2017 firing from the White House and his work on the documentary Trump @War make it clear the other participant is Bannon.

(75,967 posts)3. And 2017 is well past the date which Trump claimed he stopped all communications with Epstein.
All of this is part of the largest international criminal syndicate and Child sex trafficking ring
in the world and Putin, Trump, and Musk were all players in that enterprise which goes back
to 1987 and continues to this day with much of the GOP, the disinformation systems such as
Fox & Charlie Kirk, Peter Thiel, and our friends in the fossil fuel industries.
Btw Trump is insane.
