Overview

• On his podcast, Rogan challenged Patel’s assertion that there are “no tapes” from Epstein’s private island, calling the claim nonsensical.
• Patel had insisted the administration would disclose all releasable materials even as a new DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed Epstein’s 2019 death by suicide and found no client list.
• The bureau’s released jail cell video omits nearly three minutes of footage, a gap Rogan cited as evidence of selective transparency.
• The administration’s effort to unseal grand jury transcripts has stalled while officials cite child privacy rules to withhold hundreds of hours of photos and videos.
• Rogan’s high-profile criticism highlights growing public distrust and intensifies demands for full disclosure of Epstein-related records.
