Summary
In 2018 and 2019, Steve Bannon, a key advisor to Donald Trump, engaged in conversations with Jeffrey Epstein, who was involved in a network of Western elites. The emails revealed discussions about money, international influence, and political strategies. Despite using aggressive language towards Pope Francis as part of their “culture war,” there is no evidence of a concrete operational plan or ecclesiastical contacts. Epstein’s known professional trajectory did not fully explain his access to Western elites. This network included figures such as Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, who had dealings with Epstein despite legal issues in 2008. No direct evidence supports claims that Epstein advocated for a conservative Catholic agenda.
