Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host and prominent conservative commentator, recently reignited controversy by suggesting that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein may have been working on behalf of Israeli intelligence. Speaking at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit, Carlson questioned the source of Epstein’s wealth, his connections, and the true nature of his infamous operations. He asked, “Why was Epstein doing this, on whose behalf, and where was the money coming from?” Carlson speculated that Epstein had ties to foreign intelligence, specifically implying Israel’s Mossad, a claim that drew loud applause from the audience but has sparked backlash and renewed conspiracy theories online.

Carlson continued by referencing Epstein’s well-documented relationships with high-profile figures, including former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and questioned why Epstein’s connections with a foreign government were never thoroughly investigated. “There’s nothing antisemitic about asking that question,” Carlson declared, framing it as a matter of national interest and transparency. He also took a broader swipe at government institutions like the CIA and FBI, accusing them of hiding the truth about Epstein’s network. His remarks come on the heels of renewed public scrutiny following the U.S. government’s decision not to release Epstein’s alleged “client list,” fueling further speculation among Carlson’s audience and conspiracy theorists alike.
