Newly released video files surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case are drawing renewed attention after footage shows him being directly asked whether he believed he was “the devil himself.”
In a video shared by Sky News Australia, the outlet notes that the material is part of a massive release from the Department of Justice, comprising millions of pages of documents, thousands of photos and hundreds of hours of video recordings.
During one exchange, Steve Bannon directly challenges Epstein about the origins of his wealth, asking, “Is your money dirty money?”
Epstein responds, “No, it’s not.”
When pressed further — “Why is it not dirty money?” — Epstein insists, “Because I earned it.”
“You earned it advising the worst people in the world, right?” Bannon asked.
Epstein then attempts to defend himself, stating, “I can tell you that with the money I gave to help try to eradicate polio in Pakistan and India.”
Moments later, the conversation reaches a pivotal point when Epstein is asked to consider how victims or families might feel about receiving money connected to him. Then comes the confrontation.
Bannon asks plainly, “Do you think you’re the devil himself?”
Epstein responds, “No but I I do have a good mirror.”
Pressed again, Bannon repeats, “It’s a serious question. Do you think you’re the devil himself?”
Epstein answers, “I don’t know. Why would you say that?”
Another part of the interview showed Epstein mocking Jesus for being a carpenter.
Here is Epstein shutting down the moment Jesus Christ is mentioned. His response is totally demonic. Anyone defending this heathen is an apostate.

“…And people around who could write, wrote. Socrates could think,” Epstein tells Bannon.
“Jesus of Nazareth,” Steve Bannon points out.
“I thought he was a carpenter,” Epstein replies.
“He was a carpenter,” Bannon says.
“Didn’t he need like little carpenter [tools],” Epstein says, laughing and using hand gestures to mock.
Ultimately, these revelations reveal a spiritual reality that Scripture has warned about for generations: darkness will always oppose the light. Evil does not simply exist in isolation—it resists truth, mocks righteousness and pushes back against anything that reflects God’s holiness. Moments like these serve as a sobering reminder that spiritual battles are not theoretical—they play out in real lives, real systems and real power structures.
