Jeffrey Epstein Documents Reveal Links to Musk, Thiel and Bannon as House Democrats Release New Files

What the New Files Show

The Oversight Committee’s latest dump contains three redacted daily schedules pulled from the Epstein Estate after a subpoena issued in August 2025. While the pages are heavily blacked out, analysts have been able to spot several high‑profile names.

• Elon Musk – A line in a 2014 schedule hints at a possible flight to an island that investigators have long linked to Epstein’s private retreats.
• Peter Thiel – The documents record a dinner with Epstein in 2017, suggesting the tech billionaire’s social circle overlapped with the financier’s.
• Steve Bannon – A 2019 entry notes a meeting over dinner, placing the former White House strategist in the same orbit.

None of the entries provide evidence of illegal activity; they simply map out where and when these individuals may have crossed paths with Epstein. The releases are the third tranche of material the committee has turned over since the estate was subpoenaed.

Political Back‑And‑Forth

Democrats framed the release as a step toward “full transparency for survivors,” quoting Oversight spokesperson Sara Guerrero: “It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world.” Republicans, led by Committee Chairman James Comer (R‑KY), countered that the Democrats were "cherry‑picking" and withholding documents that could implicate Democratic officials.

Comer’s office issued a statement calling the unilateral release “appalling” and promising that the GOP will push for a comprehensive dump of all materials, old and new. A Republican spokesperson added that the information released today “is old news” and that they are focused on delivering “transparency and accountability for the survivors.”

The partisan row reflects a broader struggle over how the Epstein investigation should proceed. Both sides agree that the estate’s bank records and other financial documents are crucial, and the committee has already secured some account data. New leads from the schedules could guide further subpoenas targeting banks that handled Epstein’s money.

Spokespersons for Musk, Thiel and Bannon have not responded to requests for comment, leaving the public to wonder whether these mentions will fuel new speculation or simply add to the long list of names already associated with Epstein’s shadowy network.

While the latest documents do not prove wrongdoing, they broaden the picture of a billionaire who cultivated relationships across tech, politics and media. The ongoing congressional probe aims to map that network with enough detail to satisfy both investigators and the thousands of victims still awaiting justice.
