Steve, Please Say It Ain’t True!!

In “Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein” by Sundance, published on The Conservative Treehouse (February 16, 2026), the author analyzes recently released Epstein-related communications and argues they reveal a surprisingly close relationship between political strategist Steve Bannon and financier Jeffrey Epstein. Sundance states that the messages show extensive communication and praise between the two men, suggesting more than a casual association and challenging how Bannon has publicly presented himself politically. The article portrays the relationship as unexpected and personally disappointing to the author, framing it as evidence of deeper connections within political and media circles.

The article further speculates that Epstein may have influenced or assisted Bannon’s media and political activity. Sundance highlights discussions about building a media network, implying the planning resembles the later “War Room” platform and raising the possibility that Epstein helped structure or finance aspects of it. The author also interprets portions of the communications as showing Bannon privately expressing views at odds with his public alignment, portraying a gap between his outward populist messaging and private attitudes.
