A fresh set of documents linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has revealed connections with several well-known American and British figures, including tech billionaires and advisors to U.S. President Donald Trump.
The documents, released on Friday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, were drawn from Epstein’s estate.
They mention Elon Musk, who once headed Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, along with political strategist Steve Bannon, venture capitalist Peter Thiel, former Microsoft chief executive Bill Gates and Britain’s Prince Andrew.
An entry dated Dec. 6, 2014, noted Musk potentially traveling to an “island,” accompanied by a comment asking if the plan “is this still happening?”
The day before, Epstein’s agenda suggested a “tentative” breakfast meeting with Gates.
Thiel, who founded the data analysis company Palantir Technologies, appeared in the records as attending a lunch with Epstein on Nov. 27, 2017.
Bannon was listed for breakfast on Feb. 16, 2019. Prince Andrew’s name appeared as a passenger on Epstein’s private jet.
In a statement, Oversight Committee Democrats emphasized the global reach of Epstein’s ties.
Their spokesperson, Sara Guerrero, said, “It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”
She added that the committee “will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes” and urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all related files without delay.
This release marks the third set of documents obtained from Epstein’s estate.
The collection features phone records, flight logs, passenger manifests, financial ledgers, and Epstein’s daily schedules.
According to the panel, some names and information were redacted in order to protect the identities of victims, and further review is still underway.
