Tucker Carlson: govt is 'covering up' Epstein files to protect U.S., Israeli intelligence services | 8 July 2025 | Tucker Carlson believes the government is "covering up" the Epstein files to protect U.S. and Israeli intelligence services. The former Fox News host is leading a MAGA backlash against the Trump admins' failure to deliver on its promise to release Epstein's anticipated "client list." Trump and his allies had long teased the release of significant information about the disgraced financier's CIA/Mossad asset's mysterious death and a list of influential figures linked to Epstein's crimes. But in a major U-turn this week, Attorney General Pam Bondi said there is no evidence Epstein was murdered or that he kept anything amounting to a "client list." On his podcast today, Tucker said it was "obvious" that Bondi was "covering up crimes." "The only other explanation that I can think of...is that intel services are at the very center of this story, U.S. and Israeli, and they're being protected," he said.
