Clive Palmer denies Steve Bannon’s claim he was behind billionaire’s controversial 2019 Australian election ad strategy

Clive Palmer's spokesperson has refuted Steve Bannon's claim that he orchestrated Palmer's $60 million advertising campaign during the 2019 Australian federal election. The denial follows the release of documents by the US Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein, which included text messages purportedly between Bannon and Epstein discussing Palmer's political strategy. The messages suggest Bannon believed he was responsible for Palmer's controversial campaign. Palmer's camp firmly denies Bannon's involvement in the Australian billionaire's election advertising strategy. The documents were released as part of ongoing investigations related to Epstein.
