"On Friday, the Justice Department released more than three million pages of the Epstein files-and newsrooms everywhere were forced to cancel their weekend plans to comb through the tranche of emails, court records, and 180,000 images that arrived more than a month after the DOJ's required deadline. In addition to the more than 5,300 documents that mention Trump, the files mention pretty much every other man with any type of power in the U.S."
"To start off, despite declaring in 2025 that he never wanted to go to Epstein's island, Elon Musk exchanged several emails with Epstein from 2012 to 2013, asking to visit around New Year's in 2013. While it's unclear if the visit happened, Musk's estranged 21-year-old daughter Vivian Wilson posted to Threads on Saturday that she remembers going from St. Vincent to St. Barth's as a child during that time."
"Also named was former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who exchanged chummy emails with Epstein leading up to his death in 2019 and floated creating a documentary to redeem the pedophile's reputation; Brett Ratner, the accused sex pest and director of Melania's documentary, appeared in multiple images with Epstein, where they're both embracing unidentified women; and Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, who very recently claimed that he cut ties with Epstein in 1998, seemingly emailed about plans to have lunch on Epstein island in 2012."
The Justice Department released more than three million pages of Epstein-related records, including emails, court documents, and 180,000 images, delivered after the DOJ's deadline. The tranche includes over 5,300 documents mentioning Trump and references numerous other prominent men. Elon Musk exchanged emails with Epstein in 2012–2013 about visiting his island, and Musk's daughter recalled childhood travel during that period. Many allegations and documents remain uninvestigated and unverified, with some shocking claims compiled from an FBI tip line. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, director Brett Ratner, and commerce secretary Howard Lutnick appear in correspondence or images linked to Epstein.
