House Oversight Democrats unveiled Jeffrey Epstein estate documents tying major global figures — from Elon Musk to Prince Andrew — to meetings, flights, and invites, reigniting calls for full disclosure.
Washington, D.C. — Sept. 27, 2025 — The long shadow of Jeffrey Epstein returned to the global spotlight Friday after House Oversight Democrats released new documents from the late financier’s estate, naming a string of high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Bill Gates.
The cache — the third set of files handed over to Congress — includes flight manifests, phone logs, bank ledgers, and daily schedules, with entries dating back to 2000.
Musk and Prince Andrew Entries
One entry from December 2014 reads: “Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec. 6 (is this still happening?).” Musk has previously acknowledged Epstein’s invite but insists he never traveled to the island.
A separate 2000 flight manifest lists Prince Andrew flying with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell from New Jersey to Florida. While two redacted ledgers mention payments for “Andrew” around the same period, the documents do not confirm whether they refer to the Duke of York. Buckingham Palace records show Andrew was in the U.S. on official duties at the time.
Other High-Profile Mentions
- A 2017 lunch with tech billionaire Peter Thiel.
- A 2019 brunch with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon.
- Plans for a December 2014 breakfast with Bill Gates, who admitted in 2022 that his meetings with Epstein were a “mistake.”
The documents highlight Epstein’s deep social network among global elites, even as he faced mounting accusations of sex trafficking.
Political Firestorm in Washington
House Democrats say the disclosures are about transparency and justice for victims. Committee spokesperson Sara Guerrero urged U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to release further files:
“It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world. Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.”
Republicans, however, accused Democrats of politicizing the case, vowing to release the full set of documents soon.
The Epstein Legacy
Epstein, who struck a 2008 plea deal in Florida after being accused of abusing minors, was re-arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. He died in jail under disputed circumstances, officially ruled a suicide. Maxwell, his longtime associate, was convicted in 2021 for aiding his abuse network.
The resurfacing of names in Epstein’s circle underscores what victims’ advocates have long argued: that his crimes were enabled by his access to powerful men at the highest levels of business, politics, and royalty.
As calls grow louder for full disclosure, the Epstein scandal continues to threaten reputations — and shake institutions — across the Atlantic.Washington, D.C. — Sept. 27, 2025 — The long shadow of Jeffrey Epstein returned to the global spotlight Friday after House Oversight Democrats released new documents from the late financier’s estate, naming a string of high-profile figures including Elon Musk, Prince Andrew, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Bill Gates.
