Bannon Demands Trump Appoint a Special Prosecutor to Probe the Epstein Files

Bannon Demands Trump Appoint a Special Prosecutor to Probe the Epstein Files (The Daily Beast)

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.

Bannon is scared of something coming out, that’s for sure.

Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden are on the list. Meanwhile, there's all kinds of possibilities from the "other" side. Everybody knows djt might be on it, so what's all the bullshit about? Who gives a screaming screw if Bannon or any other of those choice asshats are listed?

Bongino is just looking for an excuse to go out in a blazing trail of drama. He's been griping about having to do a full day's work since he got there. (Besides, he looks more like someone the FBI ought to investigate than someone affiliated with the FBI.)

Guess Elon's revenge struck a mess of nerves.
