Tier One Predator: Epstein Admits What He Really Was During An Interview With Steve Bannon (2/2/26)

In a recently disclosed video from the massive DOJ release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is shown in a sit-down interview with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, during which he directly labels himself a “Tier One” sexual predator. When pressed about what that means, Epstein bizarrely insists that “Tier One” is the lowest level of such categorization, effectively acknowledging his criminal status while trying to minimize how it’s perceived. The footage — recorded shortly before his July 2019 arrest — also includes Epstein defending the legality of his wealth and pointing to philanthropic donations (like polio vaccine funding) to argue against the idea that his money was “dirty money.”The interview reveals Epstein navigating ethical accusations with evasive and self-aware language, trying to reframe both his image and legacy even as the conversation turns to his notoriety. Challenged about whether he is akin to the “devil himself,” he refuses to accept that label outright, offering cryptic responses about mirrors and moral complexity. This peculiar self-classification — admitting he is a predator yet framing it as the lowest tier — adds another unsettling dimension to his portrayal of himself in the final years before his death, and underscores how he attempted to shape public perception even amid overwhelming evidence of his crimes.to contact me:[email protected]:Jeffrey Epstein calls himself 'Tier One' sex predator in newly released Steve Bannon interview
