Newly released Epstein files suggest a portion of his network actively worked to bolster right-wing extremism globally, with a significant connection identified to former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon. An email dated April 3, 2019, from Jeffrey Epstein to Bannon states, "You take care of the message – I'll take care of the massage." The article implies Epstein's understanding of "massage" involved sexual assaults and rapes, as reported by numerous former spa employees, many of whom were minors, and that he demanded these massages multiple times daily. This connection highlights a disturbing intersection between Epstein's illicit activities and the promotion of radical right-wing ideologies.
