Steve Bannon calls for special prosecutor, full release of Epstein files

Calls for answers in the Jeffrey Epstein case resurfaced this week as several public figures renewed their demands for the release of long-promised and yet to be delivered files, reigniting controversy over the financier sex trafficker's connections and the circumstances of his death. One person calling for the files' release is f

“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 said to the Telegraph.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi referenced the rumored client list, saying: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review.”

President Donald Trump, when questioned about the case during a cabinet meeting Tuesday, responded: “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,” referencing ongoing disaster recovery efforts in Texas following flash flooding.

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene echoed Bannon's sentiment: “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. “The American people demand that the deep state no longer control this country.”

Meanwhile, questions remain about Prince Andrew and other elites tied to Epstein following reports that the FBI will close the Epstein file. The British royal, who had not left the country in a number of years and only flew beyond Britain's border once in the last six years out of fear of arrest, has now been given the OK to travel, according to a report.

“Hopefully with this out of the way it means he can at least leave the country,” a source close to the matter said. “What’s he supposed to do with the rest of his life? He hasn’t been convicted of any crime and can’t sit around doing nothing at Royal Lodge forever.”

Epstein was found dead in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide.
