# The Bannon Week: What Jeffrey Epstein Was Doing in March 2018


**TL;DR**: DOJ documents show Jeffrey Epstein hosting Steve Bannon in March 2018, trying to broker a meeting with Larry Summers, while his brother joked about Putin having kompromat on Trump.




The Discovery



We indexed 189,000+ documents from the DOJ Epstein release. A search for "blowing bubba" returned emails between Jeffrey Epstein and his brother Mark from March 2018.


What we found is a window into Epstein's world five months after Bannon left the White House.


The Timeline



**March 19, 2018**


Mark Epstein emails his brother: "How are you doing? What is your boy Donald up to now?"


Jeffrey replies: "All good. Bannon with me."


**March 21, 2018**


Mark follows up with the joke that led us here:


> "Ask him if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba?"


Jeffrey responds: "and i thought- I had tsuris" (Yiddish for troubles)


Mark doubles down: "You and your boy Donnie can make a remake of the movie Get Hard."


Jeffrey: "you mean DONNI TEE"


**March 24, 2018**


Jeffrey emails Larry Summers directly:


> "i will be bringing Bannon with me to Martins, would you like me to bring him with me to see you. we could all watch 60 minutes together?"


Summers' response:


> "Lisa says no Bannon at our house. Thinks him evil. Happy to see u at house or I can see u and Bannon somewhere else."


Later that day, Summers writes: "Just back from China. They think he is nuts."


Jeffrey replies: "so does bannon. me. very fragile mad"

What This Tells Us



1. **Epstein and Bannon were spending significant time together** in March 2018 - enough that Epstein was declining other meetings because "bannon with me"


2. **Epstein was trying to broker elite access for Bannon** - specifically to Larry Summers, former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President


3. **The Epstein brothers joked casually about Putin kompromat on Trump** - suggesting this was common discourse in their circle


4. **Larry Summers maintained contact with Epstein** even while his wife called Bannon "evil" - the compromise was meeting separately


5. **Both Epstein and Bannon apparently thought Trump was unstable** - "very fragile mad"


The Bigger Picture



Steve Bannon left the White House in August 2017 after the Charlottesville fallout. By March 2018, he was apparently hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein and being introduced to Epstein's network of powerful contacts.


This wasn't reported at the time. We found it by indexing 400,000+ DOJ documents and searching for an obscure phrase.


The documents are public. We just made them searchable.
