    This bit is interesting too (from a tweet quoted in the article):

    Epstein emails Steve Bannon saying “Tommy Robinson!! Good Work” after Robinson travelled to the US to meet with Bannon in 2017.

    It is interesting that Epstein has this to say to Bannon only months after meeting with Tommy when you also consider that Tommy is close friends with Andrew Tate, has attacked and lied about Tate’s alleged victims and helped Tate spread propaganda about his human trafficking cases.

    What did Bannon discuss with Tommy Robinson that pleased Jeffrey Epstein so much?

      I’m assuming Epstein just thought that Tommy Robson was a loose cannon and shouldn’t be brought into the inner circle. Given the fact that at least half his prosecutions have been entirely self-inflicted that’s not a necessarily un realistic point of view.
