In the released filesA full-text search of the release for the phrase “Steve Bannon” returns several thousand pages across more than two thousand runs. That is a floor and not a count: the extraction damages the name on some sheets, and a phrase search cannot distinguish punctuation, so the figure is a starting point for reading rather than a measure of the release7

Steve Bannon is an American political strategist, media executive and film producer. He was chief executive of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and then White House chief strategist until August 2017, and was executive chairman of Breitbart News before and after that.8 He is one of Jeffrey Epstein’s densest correspondents in the released files. Between 2016 and 2019 the two men exchanged email and messages about political money, foreign leaders, media strategy and Epstein’s own press; Epstein’s office scheduled repeated meals and appointments between them; and in April 2019 Epstein’s lawyer wrote to Bannon proposing to retain him as a litigation consultant.

Nothing on this page is a finding of wrongdoing. Bannon is not charged in any document cited here and no document cited here makes an allegation against him. Most of what follows is in his own words or Epstein’s, and where a third party characterises the relationship her own words are given in full.

Two things this page does not do. It does not reproduce any email address, telephone number, home address or account reference from these documents, and it does not name any person the production withholds. And it does not repeat the best-known exchanges from this correspondence, which are already set out elsewhere on this wiki: the May 2018 “pence stepping down in favor of Pompeo” exchange, the August 2018 cabinet list and the 2019 messages about a NATO appointment are on Mike Pompeo; the 2018–2019 messages about filming Noam Chomsky are on Noam Chomsky; the March 2018 and February 2019 messages about Terje Rød-Larsen are on Terje Rød-Larsen; and the April and May 2019 appointments that also name Kathryn Ruemmler, together with her answers to Congress about Bannon, are on Kathryn Ruemmler.

The approach, November 2016

The earliest document cited on this page is dated November 18, 2016, ten days after the presidential election. The document in hand is Richard Kahn’s reply to Epstein, under the subject “Re: send to brock”, quoting Epstein’s message of earlier the same day: “thanks for taking the time yesterday. I realized that if i were you , i woudl suggest to steve bannon that he talk privately with jeffrey. as you know he knows more about intl finance than anyone on trumps team, by a long way. . tom barrack knows jeffrey well, and apart from the google mess. he makes steve menuchin look like my son in terms of sophistication.”2 Kahn’s own reply, above the quotation, reads: “ok / will send now.”2 Epstein is writing about himself in the third person, in words drafted for someone else to send on; the spellings, including the surname in the last clause, are his own. The person the message was to be forwarded to is named in the subject line only by a single lowercase name; the document does not say whether that is a forename or a surname, and identifies the person no further.

Advice on a political vehicle, February 2018

The densest single day in this correspondence is Monday, February 19, 2018, when Bannon put a fundraising idea to Epstein and Epstein answered it through the morning. The chain was produced many times over, each copy a snapshot of it at a different point in the morning. Just after midnight Eastern, Bannon wrote: “How do we launch the c4 ‘Citizens of the American Republic’ by announcing we have $100 million worth of bitcoin--- that announcement alone will cause a complete meltdown of the political world.”9 Six minutes earlier Epstein had written, “You might call the new coin a ‘Wee’ / As in ‘we’ the people,” and had advised him to “set up A ‘DAF’ , a donor advised fund ( charitable deduction ’ for the causes important to the deplorables . Look at cooperative structures for exchange within communities and research campaign finance with coins.”9

Epstein’s answers were structural and tax-minded. “1 I’m not sure c4 can accept ‘property’. 2 . Have bitcoin - Undefined term , 3 . If not your hair , we will need to shampoo your thinking :)”9 Bannon replied that he was “[h]aving our fec lawyers check all this but think ‘property’ is fine as folks donate real assets all the time—this is same as a foundation ---when I save ‘have’ I mean we take it as a donation and then use it on support of building out this grassroots army , unless you are saying we start to issue our own,” and added: “Btw we would call it ‘the citizen’.”9 Epstein disagreed: “it is not the same- foundations like people are all not created equally. :). unlike cash the contributor could be setting themselves up for problem ( tax) on contribution. ! If I were you , I would consider leap frogging these old patriarch created structures … not sure the standard 501 c4 is a pinnacle of todays possibilities. recall bitcoin is inhererently anoymous and bearer like. ., currently impossible to establish jurisdiction . custodianship./ insurance. / agreed valuation/ regulation.”9 The spellings are his. In the same message he reported that “Noam Chomsky yesterday referred to me as the Swiss Army Knife of finance.”9

Later in the morning Epstein wrote that he was “thinking about forming a church structure if preaching/politics rules apply. :) . or a Distributed LC3 . (straddles property and charity. ). beware gift taxes on donations. very tricky to 501 c4 if property. bundling rules. even funnier,” and then set out the tax treatment of barter transactions, form by form, ending: “my version of fun . and widely open to hacking.”10 Bannon’s reply to the strategic point was: “u add this potential grassroots (ie retail) financial muscle in back of a grassroots army u disintermediate mcconnel’s corporatist apparatus.”11 Epstein followed with “early morning thinking - lots of needed review : , a combination of -block chain - new coin. bitcoin.- 527 , c- 3, 4 (with h elections) . pledges of coins , Icos and even -mining. oy , no rules on donations yet of crypto . not easy at all.”11 Bannon then wrote: “we r on the cusp of real power.” Epstein answered: “You not we.”12

The same thread carries the first mention of a film. Bannon wrote, “Film could be very cool / All in errols hands”; Epstein had already written, “The film looks like sooo much fun.!”9 Neither message names the film.

Introductions, in both directions

Epstein used the correspondence to put Bannon in front of people, and Bannon did the same for him.

  • February 23, 2018. Bannon wrote to Epstein and the businessman Jide Zeitlin together: “Jeffrey: jide is the close friend and former goldman colleague I mentioned ---i will let u guys figure out the best time to get together.”13
  • March 25, 2018. Epstein’s monthly schedule for a day trip from New York to Hanscom Field, Bedford, Massachusetts, carries a note that Bannon and “Sean” were among those riding with Epstein, ahead of a day of meetings at Martin Nowak’s office that also lists “Joi” and “Joscha”.14 At 00:39 UTC the next day, which is the evening of March 25 in New York because the message’s own RFC header is zoned +0000, Epstein emailed Bannon and Joi Ito together. The entire body reads: “steve-joi joi -steve”.15
  • April 26, 2018. Epstein emailed Bannon and a correspondent the header gives only as “Jabor Y.” The entire body reads: “Jabor Steve - Steve Jabor”.16 The correspondent’s address is redacted and the surname is cut to an initial; the document identifies the correspondent no further, and this page supplies nothing. Epstein’s schedules record separate appointments with the same forename in January and November 2018.1718
  • April 14, 2018. In a message thread Epstein wrote: “Fun filming. . do you want to meet J Kerry wash wed. ? does New York next weekend work”. Bannon replied: “I do want to meet with Kerry ---is he in dc or NYC ???”19

The Movement, July 2018

On July 22, 2018 Bannon forwarded Epstein an English translation of an Italian newspaper article about his new European organisation. It is headed “Bannon the European: He’s opening the populist fort in Brussels”, and its standfirst reads: “The former Trump strategist arrives in Europe with ‘The Movement’. Objective: an alliance between right-wing leaders, from Salvini to Orbán in view of the 2019 elections.”20 The translation had reached Bannon the same day from Benjamin Harnwell, whose message carries an RFC header of “Sun, 22 Jul 2018 22:01:54 +0200” and whose address the production redacts; Bannon’s own forwarding header carries no zone and this page derives no time of day from it.20

The exchange that followed ran into the small hours of July 23 on the clock the chain itself carries, which is +0200: Epstein’s two messages in it have RFC headers of 01:51:58 and 02:02:16 +0200, and the four small-hours stamps the sheet prints on the quoted messages are in the form that client writes and sit inside those messages, so they carry the same zone. That is Central European Summer Time. The stamps between 1:26 and 2:19 am fall in the evening of July 22 in New York, and this page prints no American clock time for either man.21 Epstein wrote “9th circle”; Bannon answered “Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter”; Epstein wrote “Hicks?”; then, more seriously: “If you are going to play here , you’ll have to spend time , europe by remote doesn’t work . Lots and lots of face time and hand holding.” Bannon replied “Yes.”21 Epstein then made an offer:

its doable , but time consuming, there are many leaders of countries we can organize for you to have one on ones. however . you will have to come , stay 8 -10 days. , then no more than two weeks later. the same. The fear is that you gin up their hopes and emotions and then abandon them. I think you want to be an insider, not an outsider flying in and out. did you get the first cut of american carnage? .?21

Bannon answered: “Agree 100% / How do I do that??? / American Carnage amazing — Ari Emmanual financed it and he loves it---Erolls besties tell him it will end his career because he gave a platform to a monster / Officially in Venice , Toronto and New York Film Festival / Skipping telluride.”21 Epstein replied: “We can talk about at your convenience.”22 The spellings are Bannon’s own.

American Carnage

Later that same day, July 23, 2018, Bannon wrote to Dan Fleuette, copying Epstein and Sean Bannon: “Get link to brother epstein asap.” Fleuette sent back a private video link with the words “here you go Jeff”; its password is redacted on the sheet. Bannon then wrote to Fleuette, still copying Epstein: “Jeff : need feedback.”23 The film is named in the subject line as American Carnage; nothing cited here says whether Epstein watched it or answered.

Meetings recorded in Epstein’s schedules

Epstein’s office kept monthly schedules for him. The table below sets out the entries naming Bannon in those monthly schedules between January 2018 and May 2019. A schedule entry records what was planned, not what happened, and several are marked tentative or conditional on their face. Every date in the table was read at the page image, including, where an entry stands above the next day’s heading, the preceding sheet that carries its own.

Two of those entries are worth a sentence of their own. The January 9, 2019 note, “TBD Bannon (give him Apple Watches!)”, is answered by Epstein’s own 2018 equipment list, which records two 44mm stainless-steel Apple Watches at $924.35 each, one ordered by “Jeffrey Epstein (for Steve Bannon)” and one by “Jeffrey Epstein (for Sean Bannon)”, both marked “Done” and both addressed to Epstein at 9 East 71st Street.38 And the January 17, 2019 reminder is a list of people the office proposed to contact about a Paris trip; it is not a record that any of them went.35

Beyond the monthly schedules, the office also circulated daily and weekly schedules by email, and those carry further entries and occasionally different times for the same appointment.245

The invitation to the island, May 2019

On May 1, 2019 Epstein’s assistant Lesley Groff wrote to Bannon under the subject “Jeffrey Epstein”:

Hello Steve. Happy to help coordinate tickets to Jeffrey’s island off St. Thomas Saturday May 4-Monday May 6. I will need to know:

-Where everyone is flying from (what airport) -Where everyone will fly back to (what airport) -Copies of Passports for each person39

She signed “Lesley / Assistant to Jeffrey Epstein.”39 The offer and Epstein’s own schedule do not sit together neatly. Groff offered the island through Monday May 6; the May 2019 schedule places Epstein at Little St. James from May 1, has him depart at 12:09pm on Sunday May 5 and arrive in New York at 3:45pm, and then books the “10:00am Steve Bannon shoot” at the New York house on Monday May 6, the last day of the offered stay.4 Nothing cited here shows whether Bannon or anyone with him made that trip.

The shoot, May 6–7, 2019

Epstein’s schedule for Monday May 6, 2019 records “8 :00am Dan Fleuette to start setting up for the Steve Bannon shoot” and “10:00am Steve Bannon shoot”; for Tuesday May 7 it records “9:00am Dan Fleuette and Steve Bannon at house to shoot.”4 The schedule Groff circulated the evening before is more specific about the place: “8am Dan (possibly others) at the house to set up in the library for the St=ve Bannon shoot / 10am Steve Bannon shoot.”5 The = in “St=ve” is printed on the sheet, not introduced by the extraction.5

The press, April 2019

Two threads that month record Bannon inside Epstein’s handling of coverage of himself.

On April 23, 2019 Epstein forwarded Bannon a chain about a Netflix documentary project, which had reached him from the publicist Peggy Siegal and, before her, from a producer writing to her.40 Bannon replied: “Patterson , the Perversion of Justice Team , and the guy making the ‘Ted Bundy’ film --- sounds like a potential hagiography.”40 Epstein answered, “berlinger is a bit of a hack. when you get a moment give me a call”; Bannon came back, “and Patterson’s not!!”; and Epstein wrote: “patterson book on my a flop and his work with clinton worse. hes old. but has a name. there is also john conally. hes on it as well.”40 “Perversion of Justice” is the Miami Herald series by Julie K. Brown; the Patterson book is the true-crime paperback set out at *Filthy Rich*.

On the morning of April 8, 2019 Epstein wrote to Michael Wolff and Bannon together: “i hear ny times sniffing around . =C2 do i reach out to james stewart , ?” The =C2 is quoted-printable damage printed on the sheet.41 That afternoon Wolff sent Epstein a long comment on a draft response to the Miami Herald, copying Bannon. It is editorial advice on an existing draft, each item proposing a replacement for a passage in it. He advised that “the tone should be shifted from umbrage to just the facts,” and that Epstein should “merely state, in categorical terms, that you have never knowing aided U.S. law enforcement or other agencies in any official or unofficial way.” He then supplied the language himself. The draft should say that “The Herald’s portrait careful selects and cherry picks details to create a picture at dramatic odds with the greater circumstance, ignoring a wealth of mitigating evidence relating to the age of the women involved, their statements, and their financial interest in the legal cases against Mr. Epstein”; “careful” for “carefully” is on the sheet. It should say that “significant aspects of the sworn evidence presents a vastly different and more complicated picture, once again wholly ignored by the Herald.” It should then “go into a point-by-point list showing both the agency and complicity of the girls.” And it should say that “Here the Herald has succeeded in giving the impression that under-age girls were the focus of Epstein’s interest and activities. And yet significant evidence, nowhere referenced in the Herald account, strongly suggests otherwise…” He closed: “In general, this is all strong stuff, but the tone takes away from the strength of the individual points, and the overall argument is scattershot rather than tightly organized.”42 Those are Wolff’s words and Wolff’s proposals, and no accuser is named anywhere in the message. Bannon’s entire recorded contribution to that thread is two words: replying to Wolff and Epstein together, he wrote “Agree 100%.”42 Nothing cited here shows that he drafted any part of the response or that any of it was published.

The engagement letter, April 3, 2019

On April 3, 2019 Epstein’s lawyer Darren K. Indyke wrote to “Mr. Stephen K. Bannon” under the heading “Re: Epstein Engagement”. The letter is the clearest institutional record on this page: a named lawyer, a decision to retain, and the paper recording it.

Its opening paragraph states the arrangement: “I am writing to confirm and memorialize the arrangement agreed to between us, whereby you and each additional person who executes a Supplemental Signature Page hereto (you and such persons, collectively, the ‘Consultants’) agree to provide certain confidential litigation support services (the ‘Services’) which we have discussed with some specificity and which are outlined generally below.”1 Indyke wrote that he had “been retained, along with other attorneys, to provide legal advice and other legal services to Mr. Jeffrey Epstein in connection with certain pending and threatened legal proceedings,” that “Mr. Epstein has given authority for me to retain the Consultants to perform the Services, working under my direction and reporting directly to me,” and that the services would be “adjunct to my legal services.”1

The rest of the letter is a privilege and confidentiality instrument. Every communication among the consultants, Epstein, Indyke, any agent of either, “and/or any witness or potential witness” is “deemed to be confidential and covered by the attorney-client privilege, fully protected as attorney work product.”1 All material disclosed to a consultant, “including, without limitation, writings, electronic communications, digital recordings, photographs, audio recordings, video recordings,” is “Covered Material” and privileged.43 Anything a consultant prepares, in the same list of forms, “shall be Covered Material and belong exclusively to me.”3 Consultants agree not to disclose “the existence, nature or content” of any of it without Indyke’s advance written permission, “including, without limitation, the identities of any persons in any way associated with Mr. Epstein, me or any of the Legal Proceedings.”43 They agree to notify Indyke immediately of any request to inspect the material and of “any attempt to serve, or the actual service of any court order, subpoena, or summons,” and to return everything on request.3 The letter closes: “I very much look forward to working together on this matter for Mr. Epstein’s benefit.”3

On the copy in the release the letter is not executed. Rendered at 400 dots per inch: the sign-off reads “Very truly yours,” over the typed name “Darren K Indyke” with no ink signature, and the block below reads “AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED: / By: ______________________ / Stephen K. Bannon”, the rule blank.3 The fourth sheet is a blank Supplemental Signature Page, its “Dated:”, “Print Name:”, “Print Title:” and “Signature:” lines all empty.44 A blank block proves that this copy was not signed and nothing more. Searched for an executed copy on September 8, 2026 by four of the letter’s own recitals (“Epstein Engagement”, “confidential litigation support”, “Supplemental Signature Page” and “Epstein has given authority for me to retain”), each of which returns this document and nothing else; and the runs immediately before and after it in the Bates sequence are unrelated construction proposals, a hotel circular, a garage estimate and a school fee schedule. Those searches did not find a signed copy.

What the record does show is the sequence around it. Bannon is scheduled to see Epstein on April 4 and again on April 5;37 on April 8 he is copied on the Wolff redraft of the Miami Herald response;42 on April 23 he is asked about the Netflix project;40 on May 1 Groff offers to arrange his travel to the island;39 and on May 6 and 7 the schedule records the shoot at Epstein’s house.4 The documents cited here do not say whether the engagement was accepted, whether any service was performed under it, or whether anything was paid. Searches of the release on September 8, 2026 for “Bannon LLC”, “Bannon Strategic”, “Bannon invoice”, “Bannon consulting”, “Bannon retainer”, “Bannon agreement”, “Bannon engagement”, “pay Bannon” and “wire to Bannon” returned nothing.

Message threads, 2018–2019

Two of the four exchanges below are email chains. The other two survive as forensic extractions of Epstein’s device, in which the men’s messages appear in two columns: Bannon’s on the left, in grey, under his printed name and an “SB” avatar, and Epstein’s on the right, in blue, under a blacked-out name bar. Attribution for every message quoted from an extraction was read from the page image and not from the machine-readable text, which flattens the columns and loses both the colour and the boxes.

March 12, 2018. China and a digital currency. Bannon sent Epstein an Asia Times article headlined “China crypto national currency ‘inevitable’”. Epstein asked “Are you on a plane?”; Bannon answered “Yes”; and Epstein then wrote: “The hack for wealth tax I told them was to download your coins on a usb . It’s not in your ‘account ’. I could hear them think ’ fucking American ’.” Bannon replied: “This is going to be a major front in the war --- they regulate crypto to some central apparatus they have taken away a major tool in the revolt.”45

April 13 and 14, 2018. Comey, Syria, Cohen. Epstein wrote “Comey”; Bannon replied “They played him like a fiddle”. Epstein wrote: “Im in palm beach. . its important that your future not be dragged down with/by his. Lots of fun things to do”; Bannon: “Agree 1000%”.46 The next day Bannon wrote “Syria very bad --- trump losing base every second”; Epstein asked “How do you think about Cohen in Prague story” and added “Trump reconfirming his lawyers executive privilege waiver seemed nuts”; Bannon answered “If Cohen went we r fucked”; Epstein then wrote “Though Mattis did stress the word. VITAL. In his speech.”47 The question about the Prague story is Epstein’s, not Bannon’s: it is a blue right-hand bubble under a blacked-out name bar, where “Syria very bad” and “If Cohen went we r fucked” are grey left-hand bubbles under Bannon’s printed name. The sheet carries a third Bannon message, “Will call when land”, which this page does not otherwise quote.

July 2, 2018. Hackers. Under a subject line of Epstein’s own, “the most powerful- (read dangerous) - us group. much stronger than military”,48 he wrote: “Im wrestilng with how you get these guys on yo=r side. . you want disruption?”, gave links to two security conferences, and added “20k , strong. , they all need the china speech=C2 as they are enamored with the size and naively do not recgonize the =use”.49 Bannon replied: “Do u know these guy??”49 Epstein answered that “some of the founders. organizers. .=A0 they are the most dangerous force in todays society.=C2 BY FAR!!/ : bio weapons.- pale d=e to blowback . nuclear- a 60 year old technology , what othe= 60 year old tech frightens you. , space frontier . cant operate without software.”48 Bannon came back: “This group most dangerous? / Wow / U know these guys??? / what was the 20k reference / Do u think I could get an invite to speak??” Epstein replied that “there are twenty thousand hackers. showing up at the=same place… they will=be sharing ideas on hacking crypto exhanges, voting booths. .=C2 medical records. crypto wallets. . denial of=service attacks. . competitions as to whch team can break a secure code. . a jeopardy style competiion re =reaking phones . networks. . hacking self driving cars. planes= etc”. Bannon answered: “Get it”.48 The =C2, the =A0 and the words a character short are quoted-printable damage printed on the sheets themselves, not introduced by the extraction.4849

September 6, 2018. Bannon opened with “You up???”, “Can u call me”, “Call back please”. Epstein answered “Yes”, “Cell”, and then: “I thought get secret service involved? . Send mail request under threat of perjury to top 50 people. ? Use lying to the fbi threat? Then lay out next step. Look decisive instead of ranting reciting. Unless their strategy is to replace and run with new message”. Bannon replied: “Doesn’t that show paranoia ?.. remember goal is to 25 to 40 seats”.50 Later the same day Epstein wrote “You should be here”; Bannon answered “Dude if only I could — I’m heading to Rome in morning to meet salvini”; Epstein wrote “The intel here is superb .”; and Bannon, asked for ideas, wrote: “On the coup--- I’m deep in the middle of”.51 The extraction of that sheet declares its own timezone as UTC and this page prints no clock time from it.

What Epstein told a third party about Bannon

On July 13, 2018 Epstein wrote to a correspondent whose name and initial the production blacks out on both sides of the thread: “Steve Bannon and I are just laughing all day”. Asked “What’s the latest from him?”, he answered: “Trying to overthrow. English govt next. . next wed we will have an early breakfast if you are still in town come meet him”, and, a few minutes later: “Hes very smart. Funny but even crazier than me.”52 These are Epstein’s characterisations of Bannon to a third party, not Bannon’s own words, and the documents cited here do not show that any such breakfast took place.

A videotaped interview cited in the Maxwell case

On November 1, 2021, a month before Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial, Jeffrey S. Pagliuca of Haddon, Morgan and Foreman, P.C., counsel for Ms. Maxwell, sent the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York a letter giving notice, under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 16(b)(1)(C), of expert testimony the defence expected to offer. The firm and his name are printed in red at the head of the letter’s first sheet, and the last sheet carries his signature in blue ink above his typed name.5354 The addressees are covered by a redaction box on the copy in the release and this page does not name them.53 The letter was later filed on the public docket in United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, No. 20 Cr. 330, as an exhibit to the parties’ motions about that testimony.55

The letter discloses eight expert witnesses, at lettered sections A to H. Seven are named in the clear. The eighth, at section F, is not: the letter blacks out that name in the section heading and at every occurrence in the section and its footnote, and this page does not supply it.56 Two of the eight are the ones the government later moved to exclude: Dr. Elizabeth Loftus, a psychologist, at section A, and Dr. Park Dietz, a forensic psychiatrist, at section B.535755 It is Dr. Dietz’s anticipated evidence that the passage below summarises.

On sheet 7 of the run, which the letter itself numbers “Page 6” (the two differ, and this page pins the sheet), the summary of Dr. Dietz’s anticipated evidence turns to the halo effect, and states:

Like many people who achieve great power and wealth, Jeffery Epstein exploited the Halo effect to surround himself with people who would serve his needs. At the most primitive level, his wealth attracted those seeking for themselves some of what he had. At the most sophisticated level, others with halos of their own—through any combination of power, influence, fame, brilliance, attractiveness, social standing, or other positive characteristics—mingled with Epstein for reasons of their own, and being seen in their company empowered him and made him look above suspicion. In a videotaped interview with Steve Bannon, Epstein differentiated between different kinds of power—such as Bill Clinton’s political power, wrestlers’ and weight lifters’ physical power, and Gerry Edelman’s intellectual power—and acknowledged that he gravitated to people of power. [CONFIDENTIAL] SDNY_GM_SUPP_00219000.mov.6

Four things about that passage, and each of them is a limit on it. It is a defence expert’s opinion offered in a criminal trial, not a finding by anyone; every judgement in it, including the paragraph that follows, which characterises Epstein in clinical terms, is Dr. Dietz’s assessment as summarised by the defendant’s own lawyers, and this page states none of it as established.6 The misspelling “Jeffery” in the first sentence and the correct spelling in the next paragraph are both on the sheet. The film itself is marked confidential and nobody writing this page has seen it: the sentence above is the whole of what the release says about its contents, and nothing cited here establishes when it was made, how long it is, where it was shot, or who else was present. And the production number is a lead, not a source.

What the record adds to the exhibit number is a list. Exhibit C to the same letter is a numbered list of the materials Dr. Dietz was given. On its second sheet, item 67 reads “(SDNY_GM_SUPP_00219000-219005; 00122767)”, a range of six production numbers plus one other, and it carries no description of any kind; items 68 to 71 have the same bare form. Bare numbers are not the exception on that sheet: items 38 to 50 and items 72 and 73 are bare in the same way, so of the forty items numbered 38 to 77 exactly half carry no description at all. The rest are named and dated, among them named news articles and podcast episodes and three indictments. Of the five items numbered 62 to 66 immediately above item 67, four carry redaction boxes; item 64 reads “Epstein SORA Hearing (1.18.11)” and carries none.58 So the release names the film, numbers it, and says nothing whatever about what is on it.

The government moved in limine to preclude the testimony of Dr. Dietz and Dr. Loftus; the defence responded.55 Whether the interview was ever offered or played is not established by anything cited here.

Response

No statement by Bannon about any of this material appears in the documents cited on this page. Almost all of the material is his own writing, and it is quoted here as he wrote it.

The one place in the record where a third party was questioned about him under the auspices of an institution is the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. On July 15, 2026 a member put to Kathryn Ruemmler that “earlier this year the Miami Herald published a story describing how you worked with Steve Bannon and others in … 2018 and 2019 … to, I’m going to use quotes here, help counter the public narrative that was forming against Mr. Epstein after the Herald’s perversion of justice investigation was published,” and asked: “What work did you do with Mr. Bannon?” Ruemmler answered: “I didn’t do any work with Mr. Bannon. Mr. Bannon was someone who I met on one or two occasions at business meetings, and I didn’t work with him on anything.”59 Asked what her understanding was of Epstein’s relationship with Bannon, she said: “I didn’t know. I mean, they seemed to be friendly. But I didn’t know like beyond that.” Asked whether she had “any knowledge of Mr. Bannon ever acting as an intermediary between Epstein and Donald Trump,” she answered: “I don’t.”5960 Her fuller answers about her own dealings with Epstein are on her page.

This page did not run a search of published reporting for a comment or statement from Bannon or a representative, and does not assert that none exists.

What the search returned

Searching the release for “Steve Bannon” returns several thousand pages. They are not all correspondence, and the categories matter for anyone reading behind this page.

  • Two-way email between Epstein and Bannon, from 2016 to April 2019, in very large numbers. Many single documents in this family are one message from a chain, so the same exchange is produced ten or twenty times under different numbers.
  • Device extractions of iMessage and SMS threads between them, rendered as two columns of coloured bubbles. These cannot be attributed from the text layer at all.
  • Epstein’s office records: monthly and daily schedules, calendar alerts, itineraries and equipment lists.
  • Press digests, newsletters and news clippings that name Bannon and have nothing to do with Epstein: an economics columnist’s newsletter forwarded to Epstein by a business contact, a wire story about a bookstore confrontation, and long daily news-briefing compilations in which his name appears in a summary of an unrelated item.
  • Scanned pages of books by Michael Wolff, in which Bannon is a principal subject, held in the release as books and not as records of anything about Epstein.
  • Court filings from the Maxwell prosecution: multiple copies of the November 2021 defence expert disclosure, and the government’s motion to preclude the testimony with the defence response to it.
  • A different correspondent named Sean Bannon, who appears in the office records and on at least one message thread whose display initials are also “SB”. Messages in that thread are not Steve Bannon’s.

Two search cautions specific to this material. Epstein’s own spelling is often wrong and is load-bearing for retrieval, so a correctly spelled phrase can return nothing where the document says something else. And these exports carry quoted-printable damage, sequences such as =C2 and =A0 and words a character short, printed on the page image as well as in the extraction, so a faithful quotation has to carry the damage or say the sheet prints it.

The 6:57 am stamp is different: it is in the Apple form and sits inside the top message, which is the recipient’s, and nothing on the sheet settles that client’s zone. No time is derived from it here.
