In early February, the Department of Justice released millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein thatĀ includedĀ extensive conversations between the late convicted sex offender and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. As the public begins to unpack the vast number of files, Bannon is coming under fire from the MAGA right for his yearslong relationship andĀ participationĀ in Epsteinās attempted image rehabilitation. The newly published messages between the two men haveĀ sparked backlashĀ from some of Bannonās closest allies, including former Trump national security adviserĀ Michael FlynnĀ and former GOP Rep.Ā Marjorie Taylor Greene, and fueled furtherĀ criticismĀ from longtime adversaries likeĀ Roger Stone. In posts on social media, Flynn and Greene both expressed their disappointment in Bannon for reportedly discussing with Epstein the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment during Donald Trump's first term. Greene added, āThere is no excuse for having such a friendly relationship with Epstein, post conviction, 2018-19. None.ā
After the first drop of Epstein files in November 2025, where Bannon also frequentlyĀ appeared, conservative podcasters includingĀ Ben ShapiroĀ and Megyn KellyĀ questionedĀ his conversations with Epstein, and some audience membersĀ sharedĀ their outrage in comments on Bannonās Rumble videos and on right-wing social media site Gettr. Now, Bannon is facing stronger backlash from MAGA media figures, far-right online personalities, and his own audience, with many calling on him to address his relationship with Epstein.
