Tucker Carlson believes the government is 'covering up' the Epstein files to protect US 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.'
On his podcast today, Tucker said it was 'obvious' that Bondi was 'covering up crimes'.
Amid mounting scrutiny over Trump's handling of the controversy, Carlson said he is not convinced that the president was covering his own alleged ties to Epstein, and felt the reason is hinged on espionage.
'I don't think he's that guy, actually,' Carlson said of Trump. 'I don't think he likes creepy sex stuff.'
Rather, Carlson floated a more sinister plot to protect the US and Israeli intelligence agencies was driving Trump's response.
'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.
'I think that seems like the most obvious.'
Carlson waded into the controversy hours after
Elon Musk launched into another attack on MAGA world by claiming that former Trump advisor Steve Bannon is implicated in the Epstein files.
Musk also alleged weeks ago that Trump is in the Epstein files, saying that 'is the real reason they have not been made public.'
But on Carlson's show, his guest Sagaar Enjeti, the host of Breaking Points, agreed that intelligence services likely had a role in the growing scandal over the release of the files.
Enjeti pointed to reports in 2021 that alleged that federal prosecutors had chosen not to prosecute pedophilia cases within the CIA.
'There have been multiple documented cases of pedophilia inside of the CIA perpetrated by CIA officers,' he said.
Carlson waded into the controversy surrounding Epstein after Trump's administration issued a memo claiming that the pedophile had 'no client list' and that his death in 2019 was a suicide.
