After a search of the files on Roger Stone’s name, we couldn’t find evidence that Stone was one of Epstein’s clients, but what we did find was shocking…
Two separate files of text messages included the phrase “Just received a video of Stone attacking you.”
In the first file, the text message was sent to Steve Bannon from a friend whose name is redacted.
In the second, the message was sent from Jeffrey Epstein to a friend whose name is redacted (Steve Bannon).
Here is a screenshot of the two files described above:
This is proof that, in at least some of the Epstein files, Trump’s DOJ and FBI broke the law to redact a name we never expected: JEFFREY EPSTEIN HIMSELF.
We’ll never know how many of the files Epstein’s name is hidden in.
But looking at the Bannon conversation, one can assume why Team Trump would want to hide his involvement in some conversations.
On November 22, 2018, Bannon texted Epstein to notify him that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) was “headed to see our friends for talks.”
Epstein replied “Z?” likely referring to Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the de facto ruler of Abu Dhabi at the time. Now he’s the president of the United Arab Emirates.
Epstein also let Bannon know that their friend “Terje” (Norwegian diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen) was in Riyadh.
The next day, Bannon sent Epstein updates on MBS’s meetings and travel.
These texts put Epstein and Bannon at the center of Middle Eastern affairs while Trump was in office, and other messages strongly suggest Bannon was still communicating with Trump’s inner circle at the time.
Bannon functioned as a White House source for Epstein and likely Saudi Arabia and the UAE, over a year after his exit from the administration.
The messages also reveal that Bannon’s future as a right-wing media figure was part of Epstein’s “battle plan.”
Epstein told him that working in the press and building a “news base” would help him “build a fort” of legal protection and gain more access to people in power, at home and abroad.
Less than a year later, Bannon became the host of the War Room show on Real America’s Voice.

When Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law required the Trump administration to not redact any names except for victims, unless they provided clear justification for the redaction.
It’s no secret that the DOJ and FBI have broken that law with nearly every file, and they never even attempted to justify their redactions.
We want to see Pam Bondi and Kash Patel questioned in Congress. We want them removed from this regime, and we want them held accountable.
We can’t make that happen myself, but we sure as hell can spread the word that they redacted Epstein’s own name in an attempt to protect Trump’s clown car of corrupt actors.
