In November 2018, Steve Bannon, formerly Donald Trump's chief strategist, was in the UK preparing for a speech at the Oxford Union. The event was interrupted by hundreds of protesters, and Bannon informed Jeffrey Epstein via email, stating, Protesters slowed down speech don't think I can make the flight we r enroute to heathrow. Epstein replied, suggesting a flight and Bannon responded, praising him as an amazing assistant.
This exchange is part of a larger set of over 20,000 documents released by the House oversight committee, revealing intricate ties between Epstein and several political figures.
Notably, Epstein appeared to lend personal assistance to Bannon, arranging travel and discussing recent political landscapes, particularly in relation to Brexit. The documents include Bannon assuring Epstein he had become embroiled in Brexit discussions with UK politicians.
Bannon, who has acknowledged working on a film about Epstein, is not accused of any wrongdoing in relation to these communications. His involvement with Epstein paints a broader picture of the connections Epstein cultivated with influential figures prior to his discredited criminal activities.
As public interest surges about Epstein's inner circle, the implications of these relationships come under scrutiny, particularly with the U.S. House of Representatives poised to vote on releasing further documents concerning Epstein's past activities.
