Four News Outlets Reveal Details of Steve Bannon’s Friendship with Jeffrey Epstein

According to reports from The New York Times, CNN, Vanity Fair, and ZENIT-English, former White House advisor Steve Bannon maintained a close relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein despite Epstein’s toxic behavior.

Text messages obtained by the news outlets suggest that Bannon stood by Epstein even after learning about his alleged misconduct. The texts also reveal that Bannon was in contact with Epstein as recently as 2018, more than two years before Epstein’s death in August 2019.

Additionally, reports indicate that Bannon had been courting Epstein since at least 2016, with the goal of “taking down” Pope Francis. This information comes from a report by ZENIT-English, which cites documents related to Epstein’s case.

In response to these allegations, Bannon has finally spoken out about his friendship with Epstein. The New Republic reported that Bannon referred to Epstein as “God” in one instance.

The details of Bannon’s relationship with Epstein have sparked renewed attention on the former White House advisor and his ties to the convicted sex offender.
