JD Vance Echoes Epstein-Mossad Claims on 1 Joe Rogan Podcast

Summary
JD Vance said on Joe Rogan’s podcast that Jeffrey Epstein had ties to the “highest levels” of Israeli intelligence, amplifying a long-running conspiracy theory.
Joe Rogan framed Epstein as widely seen as linked to Mossad, and Vance broadened that claim by saying he could have been tied to Mossad, the CIA or another “deep state.”
Millions of U.S. government files released on Epstein have not produced conclusive proof that he worked as a Mossad agent or asset, a gap Vance acknowledged.
The remarks revive a fault line on the right, where Epstein-related conspiracy theories have remained a source of tension among conservatives.
