The names of Elon Musk and the Duke of York have appeared in the latest files released on Jeffrey Epstein.

Musk and Prince Andrew are listed as passengers on the late sex offender’s private jet in documents shared by Democrats on that House Oversight Committee today.

The documents indicate that Musk may have visited Epstein’s Little St James private island on December 6, 2014.

Epstein’s daily schedule reads: ‘Reminder: Elon Musk to island Dec.6 (is this still happening?)’.

Prince Andrew was named as a passenger on a flight on Epstein’s jet from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida, on May 12, 2000. Also named was Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

During Maxwell’s trial, one of her accusers claimed that she was 14 years old when Andrew was aboard Epstein’s private jet with her.

Another schedule stated Epstein’s lunch plans with tech billionaire Pete Thiel on November 27, 2017, as well as a breakfast with conservative political strategist Steve Bannon on February 16, 2019.

Bannon served as CEO of Trump’s presidential campaign in 2016 and as White House chief strategist in 2017.

‘It should be clear to every American that Jeffrey Epstein was friends with some of the most powerful and wealthiest men in the world,’ stated Oversight Democrats spokesperson Sara Guerrero.

‘Every new document produced provides new information as we work to bring justice for the survivors and victims.’

A Republican spokesperson for the Oversight panel accused Democrats of continuing to ‘meaninglessly cherry-pick documents and politicize this investigation’.

A GOP spokesperson for the Oversight panel blasted the Democrats’ decision to release information unilaterally.

‘They are intentionally withholding documents that contain names of Democrat officials, and the information they released today is old news,’ said the spokesperson.
