House Democrats Publish Epstein Files Naming Musk, Thiel and Bannon as Musk Denies Island Visit

Democrats describe the subpoenaed, heavily redacted files as the first step in a rolling public release.

Overview

  • The Oversight Committee’s Democrats posted Epstein-estate records provided under subpoena, saying the panel received 8,544 documents.
  • An itinerary entry noted a tentative Elon Musk trip to Epstein’s private island on Dec. 6, 2014; Musk wrote on X that he refused invitations and never visited.
  • Epstein’s calendars list a Nov. 27, 2017 lunch with Peter Thiel, a Feb. 16, 2019 breakfast with Steve Bannon, and a tentative 2014 Bill Gates engagement, with no proof the meetings occurred.
  • Flight logs show Prince Andrew on an Epstein jet on May 12, 2000, and ledgers reference massage payments associated with “Andrew,” with no new allegations of crimes in the released materials.
  • Republicans condemned the unilateral posting as cherry‑picking and urged full disclosure, while Democrats said more redacted records will be released to protect victims’ privacy.
