Is Tucker
Carlson engaging in Conspiracy Theories concerning the Epstein Files?
In early
2026, Tucker Carlson has been prominently discussing theories regarding the
Jeffrey Epstein files, frequently suggesting that Epstein was an agent for
foreign intelligence. While he frames these discussions as "just asking
questions" about Epstein's unexplained wealth and connections, critics and
fact-checkers have categorized several of his claims as unsubstantiated
conspiracy theories.
Key
Claims and Theories
Israeli
Intelligence Tie: Carlson has repeatedly alleged that Epstein worked for the
Mossad or other Israeli intelligence services. He suggests Epstein ran a
"blackmail operation" for a foreign government to influence powerful
figures.
Intelligence
Agency Involvement: Beyond Israel, he has speculated about involvement from the
CIA and French intelligence.
Manner of
Death: Carlson has publicly dismissed the official ruling of suicide, stating
it is "pretty clear" Epstein did not kill himself in prison.
Code
Words and "Pizzagate" Links: In February 2026, Carlson discussed a
massive document dump with investigative journalist Ian Carroll, examining
potential "code words" in Epstein’s emails and drawing parallels to
the "Pizzagate" theory.
Government
Cover-up: He has criticized both the Biden and second Trump administrations for
withholding records, framing the lack of a definitive "client list"
as evidence of a "deep state" or elite protection operation.
Context
and Critiques
Official
Denials: Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett explicitly stated that
"Epstein never worked for the Mossad". NewsGuard has labeled claims
that recent DOJ files prove Epstein was a spy as its "False Claim of the
Week".
Criticism
of Motives: Critics, including the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), have argued
that Carlson’s focus on Israeli ties leans into antisemitic tropes about hidden
Jewish power.
