In a shocking revelation, it has emerged that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein played a behind-the-scenes role in a media campaign to support President Donald Trump and promote the agenda of Steve Bannon, a former White House official and far-right populist.
According to text messages released by the US House Oversight Committee, Epstein was in constant communication with Bannon from August 17th to 23rd, 2018. During this time, Epstein coached Bannon on how to present himself on television, how to deliver his message, and even advised him on staging for live appearances. The messages reveal that Epstein took a keen interest in crafting talking points for Bannon's media appearances, particularly on economic policy.
The exchanges also provide insight into the two men's responses to breaking scandals, including the National Enquirer publisher David Pecker receiving immunity in the Michael Cohen case. In one notable exchange, Bannon texted "Huge event huge" when news broke of Pecker's immunity, followed by a message suggesting that more women were about to receive payoffs.
The messages also show Epstein trying to accommodate Bannon's apparent desire for secrecy, including discussing how they could meet without being detected by security. However, it is not clear whether these arrangements were ever put into practice.
It remains unclear why Epstein agreed to work with Bannon on this campaign, or what kind of compensation he received for his efforts. However, the revelations have raised further questions about Epstein's connections to powerful figures in American politics and his impact on their agendas.
One thing that is clear, however, is that Epstein played a significant role in shaping Bannon's messaging, particularly when it came to economic policy. The messages suggest that Epstein advised Bannon to focus on cashing in benefits from tax cuts rather than addressing wage inflation, a position that has been widely criticized by economists and experts.
Overall, the text messages provide a fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of American politics during a critical moment in Trump's presidency.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one - Epstein's involvement with Bannon is like a ticking time bomb of bad juju 
. The fact that he was coaching Bannon on how to present himself on TV and advise him on staging for live appearances? That's just plain creepy 
. And the economic policy stuff? Like, come on - Epstein advising Bannon to focus on tax cuts instead of wage inflation? That's a recipe for disaster 
. It's wild that we're still discovering all this stuff about Epstein and his connections to powerful figures in politics... what else are they hiding? 
he's just a puppet for whoever is pulling the strings. I'm starting to think that Trump was in on it too, all this time... it's like, one big web of deceit. And what about Epstein's connections to other powerful people? This guy was supposed to be "rotting" behind bars and yet... 
did he just want power or something more? 
anyway, these text messages are super revealing... especially the part about wage inflation, it's all about lining pockets of the wealthy, not helping the people 
what is going on with these guys?! so Epstein was basically coaching Bannon on how to spin his message and present himself on TV, it's wild. and the part about him advising Bannon to focus on cashing in benefits from tax cuts instead of addressing wage inflation is just crazy 
it's crazy to think about how much of a behind-the-scenes role epstein played in shaping Trump's agenda, especially when it comes to economics. sounds like he was all about tax cuts and not enough about wage inflation – basically just helping Bannon screw over the middle class 
. It makes me wonder what other secrets are hiding beneath the surface of these powerful folks.
and it's wild to think that he played a role in shaping Trump's agenda too 
. I mean, who knew the guy behind the sex offender scandal was also coaching far-right populists on TV appearances 
? But seriously, what was going through Epstein's mind when he agreed to work with Bannon? Was he just trying to curry favor or did he have something more sinister in store?
