Tucker Carlson: Epstein Spied for Israel to Blackmail US Officials

The Independent covers a range of topics from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The publication aims to provide factual reporting and analysis on important issues, such as investigating financial matters related to Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' focusing on American women advocating for reproductive rights.

Amid the current US political climate, The Independent emphasizes the need for on-the-ground reporters. Donations enable the publication to continue sending journalists to gather perspectives from all sides of a story. The Independent prides itself on being a trusted news source for Americans of various political affiliations, offering free access to its journalism without paywalls.

Tucker Carlson, a former Fox News host, claimed that Jeffrey Epstein, a deceased child sex trafficker, was working for the Israeli government. Carlson asserted that this belief is widely held in Washington D.C., stating, "I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t think that." He raised suspicions about Epstein running a potential blackmail operation based on recent information from the Department of Justice.

Discussing the DOJ's findings at a Turning Point USA summit in Tampa, Carlson criticized the administration's conclusions regarding Epstein. He questioned the motives behind Epstein's actions, suggesting he may have been working for foreign intelligence services. Carlson stressed the importance of questioning such affiliations and expressed that mentioning Israel in this context should not be taboo or considered hateful.

Carlson's remarks have added to the discontent among supporters of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement over the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case. Concerns have been raised about missing footage from Epstein's final hours, with a noticeable time gap in the released video. Authorities have not provided an explanation for this discrepancy to The Independent or the New York Times.
