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.

I don't get how the MAGA voters, can believe there is a secret pedo ring that runs the world, then vote for one of its members, who isn't even hiding what a piece of shit he is.

It must be secret or it is no longer a conspiracy. The "cabal" of rich and powerful people running the world known to everyone ? Nah not interesting, it must be a secret cabal ...

And they still don't think he is involved somehow. They are so excited to tell you Bill Clinton is involved given the same evidence lol

Like anyone gives a shit if Bill Clinton was locked up haha

Doesn't seam any of them were as deep in the circle as Trump. It's mad to not go for him first.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago

They were best friends. Doesn't get much deeper than that.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago

Trump and Epstein were BEST FRIENDS. At least nobody believes that about Bill Clinton.

That's how cults work.

maybe their thought process is that they wish they could be part of it too

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 15 points 5 days ago

Instead of temporarily embarrassed millionaires, they're actually temporally embarrassed pedophiles?

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah he was rubbing it in their faces
