House Oversight Releases Epstein Files Naming Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, Peter Thiel Amid Political Dispute

Newly released documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, provided to the House Oversight Committee and partially published by Democrats, reveal ties between Epstein and several high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Steve Bannon. The records include itineraries that show a tentative trip planned by Musk to Epstein's private island in 2014, a lunch scheduled with Thiel in 2017, and a breakfast set with Bannon in 2019, shortly before Epstein's arrest on sex trafficking charges. The documents also contain flight logs, financial ledgers, and phone records spanning decades, illustrating Epstein's ongoing relationships with some of the world's most powerful men even after his 2007 plea deal. While these files do not provide evidence of wrongdoing by Musk, Thiel, or Bannon, they highlight Epstein's continued access to influential individuals. Committee Democrats emphasized their commitment to uncovering all complicity in Epstein's crimes, though Republicans accused Democrats of selectively releasing documents. Spokespersons for the men named have not responded to requests for comment regarding the newly revealed information.
