This document is an email chain from July 2018 between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein (using the alias 'jeffrey E.' and email 'jeevacation@gmail.com'). The conversation originates from a news snippet sent by Benjamin Harnwell about Bannon launching a populist foundation ('The Movement') in Brussels. Epstein advises Bannon that operating in Europe requires significant physical presence ('face time and hand holding') rather than remote management, and they exchange references to Dante's Inferno ('9th circle', 'Abandon Hope').
