House Democrats release partial Epstein records referencing Musk, Gates and Prince Andrew

House Oversight Democrats on Friday released six heavily redacted pages drawn from a trove of 8,544 Epstein-related documents — including flight logs, phone logs, daily schedules and ledgers — that contain entries referencing Elon Musk (a Dec. 6, 2014 "to island" notation), Peter Thiel (Nov. 27, 2017 lunch), Steve Bannon (Feb. 16, 2019 breakfast), Bill Gates, and a flight log showing Prince Andrew flew with Jeffrey Epstein from New Jersey to Florida. Committee Democrats said the records, which span flight logs from 1990–2019 and phone logs from 2002–2005, were turned over in response to an August subpoena, victims' names were redacted, and additional material will be released after further review and redactions.
