'They Had Videotape, Now They Don't': Joe Rogan Links Iran Bombing To Trump's Epstein Cover-Up
Epstein files, one of the most controversial lists in the United States, allegedly involving the names of several high-profile celebrities, have once again become a hot topic of discussion. Joe Rogan joined the chorus on Tuesday, slamming the Trump administration and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for their handling of the Epstein files.
In Tuesday's episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the host questioned former Attorney General Pam Bondi. He also criticised the DOJ's investigation into the controversial case involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, reported the New York Post.
His comments come days after an announcement from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the DOJ declaring the case surrounding the Epstein files closed, stating that Epstein had no known list of clients. The agencies also concluded that Epstein took his own life, putting an end to speculation surrounding his death.
Their conclusion contradicted earlier claims made by Attorney General Bondi, who stated in May that the FBI was reviewing 'tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn". His comments also condemned the work done by FBI director Kash Patel, who has previously questioned the official narrative regarding Epstein's death but later changed his stand.
The Trump administration had previously drawn attention for promising to release everything it had on the sex offender. It also published The Epstein Files: Phase 1 in February. However, it contained no new information regarding the alleged clients.
Criticising the Trump administration's current stance, Rogan added, 'Just bomb Iran and everybody forgets. Everybody forgets about it." For context, the US carried out strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities in June this year, days after Israel launched attacks on the country.
Rogan has previously criticised the US President, particularly when he referred to ICE roundups of undocumented immigrants as 'insane". He argued that authorities should focus on catching dangerous criminals instead of conducting mass arrests.
Surprisingly, despite being a frequent critic of the President, Rogan ultimately endorsed Trump for the 2024 presidential election, saying Elon Musk's arguments had helped convince him.

Trump claims US 'most respected country' in world as he marks sixth month anniversary of second term
Despite these claims, Trump's six-month approval rating remains negative, with Decision Desk HQ reporting 52.7 per cent of US adults disapproving and 44.6 per cent approving read more US President Donald Trump celebrated six months into his second term, claiming the United States is now the 'hottest' and 'most respected country anywhere in the world.' 'Wow, time flies!' he posted on Truth Social Sunday morning (July 21). 'Today is that Sixth Month Anniversary of my Second Term. Importantly, it's being hailed as one of the most consequential periods of any President.' He noted that six months was 'not a long time to have totally revived a major Country,' asserting that a year ago, 'our Country was DEAD, with almost no hope of revival.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Today the USA is the 'hottest' and most respected Country anywhere in the World,' he continued. 'Happy Anniversary!!!' Trump's approval ratings remain negative Despite these claims, Trump's six-month approval rating remains negative, with Decision Desk HQ reporting 52.7 per cent of US adults disapproving and 44.6 per cent approving. The latest Economist/YouGov poll shows his disapproval at its highest since his second term began. Trump, however, claimed his GOP support has risen 'significantly, since the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax was exposed by the Radical Left Democrats and, just plain 'troublemakers.'' 'They have hit 90 per cent, 92 per cent, 93 per cent, and 95 per cent, in various polls, and are all Republican Party records,' he stated on Truth Social. 'The General Election numbers are my highest, EVER! People like Strong Borders, and all of the many other things I have done. GOD BLESS AMERICA. MAGA!' These remarks follow his to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday to release grand jury files related to Jeffrey Epstein's case, amid public demand for transparency. Trump remains doubtful that releasing the files will satisfy calls for more information. Trump on Saturday stated that even if the courts approve their release, 'nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!' Trump posted. The push to release Epstein-related files has intensified, with even some of Trump's staunchest supporters joining critics in demanding transparency. The post also came a day after Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and The Wall Street Journal, owned by Murdoch, over an article claiming Trump sent a 'bawdy' letter for Epstein's 50th birthday.
