Epstein Documents: Fresh Scrutiny on Musk, Thiel Amid Calls for Full Disclosure

New details have emerged from an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, linking the disgraced financier with prominent figures including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. Democratic lawmakers recently made public six pages of redacted documents, provided by the Justice Department to the House Oversight Committee, which is probing the handling of sex-trafficking charges against Epstein, who died in federal custody in 2019.

The released schedules reveal a planned breakfast between Epstein and Steve Bannon in February 2019, a lunch with Peter Thiel in November 2017, and a potential trip by Elon Musk to Epstein’s private island in December 2014. These revelations intensify the ongoing public and political debate surrounding Epstein’s high-profile connections.

The documents also include a 2000 manifest for Epstein’s plane listing Prince Andrew, whose association with Epstein is well-documented, and a financial disclosure showing Epstein paid someone named “Andrew” for “Massage, Exercise, Yoga” that same year. The release follows earlier public exchanges, including Musk’s social media accusations against Donald Trump regarding the ‘Epstein files’ and Trump’s counter-claims.

Sara Guerrero, a spokesperson for the oversight committee, underscored the significance, stating, “It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.” Meanwhile, political figures like Rep. Eric Swalwell and Rep. Robert Garcia continue to clash over the selective release of documents and call for full transparency.

In the House, a bipartisan petition is gaining momentum to force a vote on legislation compelling the release of all Epstein files. The initiative is nearing the 218 signatures required, boosted by a recent special election win. However, any such legislation would still require Senate approval and the President’s signature, with Trump having previously dismissed the furor as a “Democrat hoax.”
