ALBAWABA - In a controversial speech at the "Turning Point" event, Tucker Carlson, a famous American media personality, suggested that the late Jeffrey Epstein may have worked for Israeli intelligence. This sparked new rumors about Epstein's international connections and the unresolved details of his criminal network.
Carlson raised questions when he asked Epstein how he got so rich after starting out as an unfit teacher in the late 1970s. Epstein had amassed a private island, planes, and one of Manhattan's most expensive homes. Carlson said, "It's clear that Epstein had direct ties to a foreign government, and no one can say it's Israel."
Carlson made it clear that his views were not anti-Semitic, but rather based on a wish for openness. "There's nothing wrong with these inquiries," he said. "If Israel did crimes in the U.S. while getting help from the U.S., we have the right to ask: Did they do it?"
He said that Americans are being taught to see these kinds of questions as cruel, even though they are actually valid issues that have to do with justice and responsibility.
He also said that he has friends in the CIA but doesn't think twice about attacking the organization. According to him, the CIA has done terrible things, like killing a living U.S. president. He also said that foes of the agency are not anti-American because of these actions.
The Death of Epstein and the Current Investigation
Jeffrey Epstein, an investor who was accused of running a large sex trafficking ring with girls young, was found dead in his New York jail cell in August 2018 under strange conditions. His death was officially ruled a suicide. He was waiting to go to court on federal charges.
The FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice have frequently said that there is no definitive list of high-profile people who are linked to Epstein's illegal activities. They have also rejected the idea that he was killed to avoid being found out.
In spite of this, the case has gotten more attention. A recent story from Axios said that a two-page internal letter that had been kept secret revealed that the probe was being reopened. The paper says that officials did not find any proof of a blackmail list targeting important people.
Elon Musk made a claim earlier this year on his platform X that Donald Trump's name was in Epstein's files. He later took the claim down. The post brought the case back into the spotlight, even though there is no official proof to back up the claim.
As the Epstein controversy continues to resurface, Carlson’s remarks have reignited debate over transparency, foreign influence, and unresolved questions surrounding one of the most disturbing scandals in recent American history.
