Jeffrey Epstein allegedly covered the medical expenses for a close ally of President Donald Trump — Steve Bannon.
Bannon, a prominent MAGA figure and former Trump strategist, apparently received financial help from the late financier and convicted child sex offender, according to a 2018 document in the Epstein files. Heather Ashley, host of the Big Mad True Crime, pointed to the connection in a Threads post on Saturday.
In the text exchange between Bannon and Epstein dated between June 29 to July 3, 2018, the two discuss a variety of topics relating to Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Bannon’s personal health. Epstein offered the personal cellphone number of Dr. Bernard Kruger, a Manhattan health practitioner who stepped away from two concierge practices after it was revealed he had a relationship with Epstein, according to The New York Times.
“I need to keep you WITH prostate,” Epstein wrote. “Kruger is super confidential.”
“Great,” Bannon responded.
“Your medical expenses from a to z have been covered by me — least I could do,” Epstein wrote back.
“Stop!!!” Bannon said.
An additional document in the Epstein files highlighted Epstein’s iMessages, including messages with actor and director Woody Allen — and appeared to redact Epstein and Bannon’s names — also showed the correspondence.
