From Wikileaks Warrior to Epstein Email Evasion: The Art of Steve Bannon’s Hypocrisy

from The Vault: The Epstein Files · host Bobby Capucci

In an explosive disclosure this week, newly released documents reveal that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein maintained a remarkably active role as political and media strategist, notably guiding Steve Bannon—former chief strategist to Donald Trump—on messaging, media appearances and international political optics. The records show that even as Epstein’s reputation crumbled, he was advising Bannon on how to “play” Europe, seize one-on-one meetings with world leaders and shape narrative around Trump and his team. Epstein wrote: “If you are going to play here, you’ll have to spend time, Europe by remote doesn’t work…. there are many leaders of countries we can organize for you to have one on ones.Perhaps more unsettling are the exchanges that suggest Epstein used this role to underpin his own bid for influence and image redemption. Emails show Epstein calling Bannon after forwarding a German media piece calling him “as dangerous as ever,” to which Epstein responded “luv it … we should lay out a strategy plan.”to contact me:[email protected]
