“Jeffrey Epstein apparently served as a behind-the-scenes adviser to the former Trump official and MAGA influencer Steve Bannon during an August 2018 media campaign to defend Trump and his agenda, and to promote Bannon’s media ventures,” The Guardian reports.
“Text messages released by the House oversight committee on Wednesday detail a six-day exchange between the men from August 17 to 23, and show Epstein coaching Bannon on television appearances and political messaging.”
