"One question that has yet to be answered is the one many people suspect an unsettling answer to: Was Epstein working for the Israeli government?"[E]very single person in Washington, D.C." thinks that Epstein was "running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government," Tucker Carlson told a Turning Point USA conference in July 2025. "Now, no one is allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that's naughty.""
"Now, no one is allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that that's naughty." Carlson's remarks drew predictable outrage, but few substantive denials. Even John Mearsheimer, the eminent American scholar of international relations, sees the same pattern. Speaking with Judge Napolitano in July, Mearsheimer pointed to the troves of "circumstantial evidence that makes one think that Jeffrey Epstein was tied up very closely, certainly with the Mossad but probably the CIA as well.""
Jeffrey Epstein's connections to numerous powerful individuals and the prolonged secrecy around his files raise suspicions of intelligence-related blackmail rather than mere private vice. Public figures and scholars have pointed to circumstantial evidence suggesting links to Israeli intelligence (Mossad) and possibly U.S. agencies such as the CIA. Bipartisan decisions, including during the Trump administration, to keep Epstein-related materials classified even after his death intensify questions about undisclosed leverage. The contrast between Epstein's evasion of severe accountability and prosecutions of other powerful abusers deepens concerns about hidden compromises and institutional protection.
