Steve Bannon has demanded that President Donald Trump hire a special prosecutor to probe the Epstein files amid a flurry of criticism.
His call comes after the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed in a leaked memo that no “client list” exists for accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and that the billionaire financier died by suicide, rather than being murdered, in his New York prison cell in August 2019—both the subject of widespread conspiracy theories among Trump’s MAGA base.
Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, was caught up in the scandal when Elon Musk claimed he appeared in the Epstein files. He has denied this, as has the disgraced financier’s brother, Mark Epstein.
