House Democrats Release 8,544 Epstein Records Naming Musk, Thiel, Bannon and Prince Andrew

Democrats argue the release shows Epstein’s reach, pressing the Justice Department to make all remaining files public.

Overview

  • Democrats said the latest production from Epstein’s estate totals 8,544 records of schedules, flight logs, ledgers and phone messages spanning roughly 1990–2019, with six heavily redacted pages posted Friday.
  • Calendar entries reference a tentative Elon Musk visit to Epstein’s island on December 6, 2014, a lunch with Peter Thiel on November 27, 2017, and a breakfast with Steve Bannon on February 16, 2019, though the documents do not show the meetings occurred.
  • A May 12, 2000 passenger manifest lists Prince Andrew on an Epstein flight from the New York area to West Palm Beach with Ghislaine Maxwell, and a ledger shows payments labeled “Massage, Exercise, Yoga” to an individual listed as “Andrew.”
  • Elon Musk publicly denied the implication of the schedule entry, posting “This is false,” and news outlets as well as committee materials note that being named in the records is not evidence of wrongdoing.
  • Committee Democrats are urging Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all remaining files as Republicans accuse them of cherry-picking and say more names are being withheld, with further disclosures expected after victim-protective redactions.
