US House Democrats have released newly subpoenaed documents from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, revealing the financier’s planned meetings with high-profile figures such as Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, and Prince Andrew.
The files, which cover the period from 2014 to 2019, include Epstein’s schedules, flight manifests, ledgers, and personal notes. Among the entries is a reminder that reads: “Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?)” and a planned breakfast with Steve Bannon in February 2019.
Another manifest shows Prince Andrew flew with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from New Jersey to Florida in May 2000.
Importantly, the documents make no accusations of wrongdoing against Musk, Thiel, Bannon, Gates, or Andrew, and they do not confirm whether the planned meetings actually occurred.
- Elon Musk denied the reports on X, calling them “false.”
- Representatives for Thiel, Bannon, and Prince Andrew did not respond to requests for comment.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee said the release underscores Epstein’s connections to global power brokers and vowed to continue pressing for the full release of investigative records. “Oversight Democrats will not stop until we identify everyone complicit in Epstein’s heinous crimes,” committee spokesperson Sara Guerrero stated.
Republicans on the panel, however, accused Democrats of politicizing the disclosures and pledged to release the complete set of files.
Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. His longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of recruiting and grooming underage girls for Epstein and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Earlier this month, FBI Director Kash Patel testified that investigators found “no credible information that Epstein trafficked women and underage girls to anyone but himself.”
