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.

Oh I mean, look into his relationship with Diana Ross - he was absolutely a victim of her, and lived at her house for several years as a teenager back when Sable Starr was getting gang raped as a middle schooler. So yeah he had a fucked up childhood.

Still, he most likely committed those crimes, as Paris Jackson has talked with the victims and learned about the case, and it changed her mind entirely. I believe she did not change her mind lightly and there is evidence she was able to see that can't be released to the public.
