Oversight Releases Epstein Records Naming Musk and Others

House Oversight Democrats released portions of a third tranche of Jeffrey Epstein estate records — roughly six pages drawn from more than 8,500 documents — that include daily schedules, flight logs, phone messages and financial ledgers naming Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon and Prince Andrew. The records include a scheduling note reading “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?),” a May 12, 2000 passenger manifest listing Prince Andrew, a Feb. 16, 2019 breakfast with Steve Bannon and a Nov. 27, 2017 lunch with Peter Thiel. Democrats said the disclosures underscore Epstein’s ties to powerful individuals and urged full disclosure once redactions to protect victims are completed. Inclusion in the records is not proof of wrongdoing; several people named have denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes or did not immediately comment. Lawmakers and journalists said more documents and further review are expected as additional redactions are completed.
