Email Chain Regarding Steve Bannon's European Political Networking and 'The Movement' Initiative (File 019343)

July 2018 email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon discussing Bannon's plans to establish 'The Movement,' a political foundation coordinating right-wing European leaders ahead of the 2019 elections, with analysis of Bannon's strategy to counter George Soros's influence.

Summary

This email chain documents correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon in July 2018 regarding Bannon's initiative to launch 'The Movement,' a non-profit foundation based in Brussels designed to coordinate populist right-wing parties across Europe for the 2019 European Parliament elections. The included article describes Bannon's strategy to unite leaders including Matteo Salvini, Viktor Orbán, Marine Le Pen, and Nigel Farage as a counterweight to George Soros's influence. Epstein emphasizes the need for Bannon to spend substantial in-person time in Europe (8-10 days at a time) to build relationships with European political leaders rather than operating remotely. The chain includes references to Bannon's 'American Carnage' film, his controversial background with Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica, and his deteriorating relationship with Trump following Michael Wolff's 'Fire and Fury' revelations.
