House Democrats Release Epstein Files Listing Musk, Thiel and Bannon as Musk Denies Island Trip

Democrats cast the partial release as a step toward accountability despite GOP claims of politicization.

Overview

  • Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee posted portions of 8,544 records produced by Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, including schedules, flight logs, ledgers and phone messages.
  • One 2014 schedule notes a tentative Dec. 6 trip for Elon Musk to Epstein’s island with the question “is this still happening?,” while other entries reference a 2017 lunch with Peter Thiel and a 2019 breakfast with Steve Bannon.
  • A released passenger manifest lists Prince Andrew on an Epstein flight from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida, on May 12, 2000, alongside Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Musk rejected suggestions he visited Little St. James, posting on X that the reports are false and saying he refused invitations to go.
  • Committee materials do not establish that listed meetings or trips occurred, Democrats say victim identities are being protected through redactions, and they are pressing the Justice Department for further disclosures.
