Steve Bannon, the far-right ally of President Donald Trump, may have devised a legal tactic to help late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein hide information.

Business Insider reporter Jacob Shamsian crafted a BlueSky thread about his recent report on the "obscure legal tactic" Epstein may have used to hide some of the information that could have been harmful to a court defense.

Recently released communications show a discussion between Epstein and Bannon about a Kovel agreement.

Bannon revealed that he has 15 hours of footage speaking with Epstein. While Congress debated demanding the Justice Department release information, there was never a congressional subpoena for Bannon to hand over his 15 hours of videos.
