- During late 2018 and into 2019, Bannon's spokesperson said he conducted about 12 hours of interviews for a documentary, with a December 31, 2018 exchange and urgent messages in April and July 2019.
- Texts show Bannon recommending lawyers William A. Burck and Alex Spiro, outlining a PR plan to `push back` and `rebuild` Epstein's image, and documenting perks like Epstein's private jet and Apple Watches.
- Conservative allies have publicly rebuked Bannon, including Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday, while Bannon and his spokesperson told The New York Times the relationship was strictly professional and related to a documentary.
- With his profile at major conservative events, scrutiny over Bannon's legal history—four months in prison in 2024 and a 2025 probation sentence—could deepen after the DOJ file release.
