Steve Bannon calls for special prosecutor to investigate Jeffrey Epstein files
MAGA firebrand Steve Bannon has called for a special prosecutor to investigate the Jeffrey Epstein files, after Attorney General Pam Bondi denied the late pedophile had a list of high-profile clients.
Bannon, the one-time chief strategist for President Trump, said it would be easy to release court documents in the case — and said a special prosecutor could uncover who else was involved in Epstein’s disgusting crimes.
“The attorney general, I believe, needs to go to the court and ask for a complete unsealing of all the files — and answer Tom Fitton’s Judicial Watch lawsuit and release all of the documents,” Bannon told the Telegraph.
Bannon also spent much of his WarRoom TV show on Wednesday to call for the release of the Epstein files, as promised previously by the Trump admin.
In February, Bondi had teased the release of a client list, saying: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”
But the DoJ released an unsigned memo last week shutting down any talk of a list, and Bondi’s Justice Department insisted there was nothing more to say on the case.
President Trump snapped at a reporter who brought up the case during a Tuesday cabinet meeting.
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years … I can’t believe you were asking a question on Epstein at a time like this,” he said, after referencing the Texas floods.
The rumors surrounding Epstein’s potential clients, as well as his death by suicide in a New York prison in 2019, has become a divisive source of controversy among the MAGA base.
Firebrand Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene insisted it was right to keep asking questions about Epstein’s case.
“We, the American people, are fed up with … being lied to, or told a narrative that’s not true, and that’s what this election was about, not only in 2016 but again, in 2020 and 2024,” she wrote on social media.
“The American people demand that the deep state no longer control this country.”
