Tucker Carlson has linked notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein to the Israeli Mossad as the former Fox News host suggested without evidence that the late Epstein was operating a blackmail scheme on behalf of Israeli intelligence services. On 11 July 2025, the Times of Israel reported that Carlson made the unsubstantiated claims during a Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, alleging that Epstein had “direct connections to a foreign government” and questioning his wealth sources while demanding answers from Israel. The article begins:
Right-wing US pundit Tucker Carlson suggested that the late notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had been working for Israeli intelligence services throughout the years in which he was allegedly sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls, adding fuel to the fire that has re-erupted among conspiracy theorists in recent days around the disgraced financier. Carlson, an ex-Fox News host and a conspiracy theorist, was speaking at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit on Friday when he turned to the matter of Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges of sex trafficking minors. Epstein’s life and death have made headlines again in recent days after US President Donald Trump’s administration decided to withhold records from the investigation and claimed that Epstein’s much-hyped “client list” had never existed in the first place.
Key Points
- Carlson claimed without evidence that Epstein was “working on behalf of intel services, probably not American” and had “direct connections to a foreign government.”
- The pundit referenced former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s reported 30 meetings with Epstein between 2013–2017 as supposed evidence of Israeli involvement.
- Carlson alleged “every single person in Washington, DC” believes Epstein operated for Mossad, though he provided no supporting evidence for this claim.
- He also declared Americans serving in foreign militaries, including the IDF, should lose their citizenship, citing “no man can serve two masters.”
Tucker Carlson & MAGA: US Conservatives Split, Global Alliances Grow
Tucker Carlson’s ascendancy within the US MAGA movement is redefining its ideological trajectory, as sharp disagreements over the direction of foreign policy reveal widening rifts between isolationist and interventionist factions, with Carlson emerging as a vocal critic of US military interventions and frequently clashing with established conservative voices. These internal power struggles within MAGA are mirrored by media-driven battles over America’s global role, particularly regarding Iran, where Carlson’s anti-interventionist stance has become a rallying cry for a significant segment of the movement.
Beyond domestic debates, Carlson’s platform has become a conduit for engaging controversial international figures and amplifying anti-globalist narratives, reinforcing his status as a bridge between MAGA and the Global National Conservative Alliance (GNCA). His prominence at events such as CPAC Hungary and his influence in shaping the MAGA movement’s leadership and strategic direction highlight how Carlson’s media operations are reshaping both internal MAGA dynamics and the movement’s international alliances, further entrenching its alignment with nationalist and authoritarian-leaning models abroad.
