Watch: the Old Continent in the Epstein files
1:02Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
"The Old Continent" is a common phrase for Europe. In the files it appears only in one repeated passage about Steve Bannon's efforts to build a populist "super group" for the European Parliament elections. It is not a place tied to Jeffrey Epstein by travel, property or correspondence.
All 13 documents are emails, and every one carries the same passage: a "super group" that, if victorious, could win up to a third of the European Parliament in the elections "next May." The passage says this would put "the common policy of the Old Continent in the hands of Bannon and his own," and describes Bannon as closely attached to the US Freedom Caucus. The archive has no flight logs, legal, financial or other substantive records for this term, and none of the emails list it as a sender or recipient. The same text appears in 10 House Oversight documents and 3 later EFTA documents, so the 13 hits are one article forwarded or duplicated, not 13 separate references.
Key Highlights
- •Every one of the 13 documents contains the same passage about Bannon and the European Parliament elections. The count reflects duplicate copies of one article, not 13 independent mentions.
- •The phrase is a stylistic synonym for Europe in the article's text. It does not name a specific site, trip or event connected to Epstein.
- •The listed connections (Maria Farmer, Open Society, Matteo Salvini, Benjamin Harnwell, Lou Barletta) each share all 13 documents with the term. That suggests they come from the same emails, not from any link between them and the phrase. Nothing in the passage describes a relationship between these names and the phrase.
- •The passage ties Bannon to a pan-European populist push around the Parliament elections, the Freedom Caucus and a possible bloc of up to one third of seats. The files do not say what Epstein's role, if any, was in that effort.
- •None of the emails are direct correspondence. There are no substantive non-email records for this term.
