During a lengthy appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Vice President JD Vance made some of his most candid remarks to date about Jeffrey Epstein, saying he believes there was likely a broader conspiracy and that he will go to his deathbed convinced a bigger story exists.
Vance argued that the original 2007 investigation was deliberately too narrow, which prevented investigators from uncovering the full scope of Epstein’s activities.
When Rogan described Epstein as running an apparent operation to bring influential people together on his island in order to either influence or compromise them, Vance replied simply, “Correct.”
JD Vance tells Joe Rogan there "probably was" a broader Epstein conspiracy, and he'll go to his "deathbed" believing there's a bigger story.

He went on to say there is “a story there,” adding: “I will go to my deathbed believing there’s a story there, but I can’t prove it.”
Vance also directly addressed long-standing theories about Epstein’s intelligence ties. When Rogan said most people believe Epstein was working for Mossad, Vance did not push back.
Instead, he stated that Epstein “clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence” and “clearly had connections to the highest levels of Israeli intelligence,” suggesting it could have been Mossad, the CIA, “or both.”
Joe Rogan tells JD Vance most people think Epstein was Mossad.

The conversation turned to the release of the files. Vance admitted the administration “absolutely screwed up the comms,” which only deepened public suspicion that powerful people had undue influence over the process.
Joe Rogan presses JD Vance on whether people involved in Epstein's crimes had "undue influence" over the release of the files.
