One of the emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein recently released by the House Oversight Committee reportedly shows correspondence with Steve Bannon — one of President Donald Trump's longtime advisors — about getting Trump's embattled second Supreme Court nominee through a major controversy.

On Wednesday, journalist Sean Morrow of More Perfect Union posted a September 2018 email exchange between Epstein and Bannon, in which the two are seen discussing a potential line of attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. According to the emails, Epstein suggested that then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's attorneys press Ford — who accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her at a high school party — on medications she may have been using that can sometimes cause memory loss.

"I delayed my trip a day. So I'm still around," Epstein wrote from a personal gmail account. "Tell [Kavanaugh attorney Bill Burck] they should make sure they ask Ford about her medications, what type and for how long. My guess is that [Ford lawyer Debra Katz] won't let her answer."

Snip…

The convicted child predator then sent Bannon a link to a 2017 University of São Paulo study entitled "false memories in social anxiety disorder," followed by another correspondence that read: "She couldn't recall if the lie detector was given the same day as her mother's funeral or the next day? MEDS."

"Oh I get it now," Bannon wrote back.
