Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019, was interviewed by former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon in a nearly two-hour discussion that took place between 2018 and 2019. According to verified footage, the interview details Epstein’s early career as a math teacher at New York City’s Dalton School, where he was hired at age 20 by Donald Barr.

Epstein described his subsequent work at Bear Stearns from 1976 to 1980 and later connections to prominent figures in finance. During the interview, Epstein discussed his views on fractional reserve banking, inflation, and the 2008 financial crisis while he was in solitary confinement.

The video reveals that Epstein claimed no regrets about his actions during the financial crisis and characterized his life work as “uncommitted inquiry” rather than measurement of reality. According to the interview, Epstein was hired by Donald Barr, a former OSS agent who later became the father of Bill Barr, the U.S. Attorney General who oversaw Epstein’s arrest and death in federal custody.

This interview has been released in anticipation of potential deletions from platforms where it was previously hosted. The footage provides unprecedented insight into Epstein’s connections to influential figures in government and finance.
