Overview

• On July 25, Joe Rogan sharply criticized FBI Director Kash Patel on The Joe Rogan Experience for dismissing the existence of tapes and videos related to Epstein.
• During a June interview with Rogan, Patel said there was no island footage “of what you want” but promised that all releasable Epstein materials would be made public.
• A DOJ/FBI memo released in early July concluded Epstein’s death was a suicide and denied any client list despite missing nearly three minutes of jail-cell video.
• The Trump administration’s attempt to unseal grand jury transcripts failed and it continues to withhold hundreds of hours of photos and videos, citing child privacy concerns.
• Democratic lawmakers and media figures have amplified public demands for the full release of Epstein records as skepticism over the official narrative deepens.
