Roughly six pages from more than 8,500 documents provided by Epstein’s estate to Democratic members on the House Oversight Committee include meeting schedules appearing to show appointments with Bannon and venture capitalist Peter Thiel during Donald Trump’s first term in office.

The documents also mention Musk joining a potential trip to Epstein’s island in 2014.

Prince Andrew also is listed in the documents as a passenger on Epstein’s aircraft, with financial disclosures provided to the committee suggesting evidence of payments from Epstein to an individual listed as “Andrew.”

His appointment with Bannon in 2019 was just months before Epstein was federally charged with trafficking and sexually abusing dozens of minors. Epstein pleaded not guilty and was found dead in a jail cell in New York in August 2019.

There's a video that CBS put out, directly after the shooting someone is scanning the crowd with their camera and caught video of the shooter running off the roof. Again, RIGHT AFTER. People are just starting to run out of the event, realizing what happened.

Yet…! The gun is an old WW1 Mauser that requires a screwdriver to disassemble. The FBI later said they found a (iirc blue) screwdriver on the roof (even though crime scene photos of the roof don’t show it) and claim that he unscrewed this gun in almost an instant, left the screwdriver on the roof, jumped down with the gun taken apart, and then reassembled the gun and left it for cops to find.

Not to mention they had his body on Airforce 1 well before a forensic autopsy could typically be completed.
