A former CIA officer, John Kiriakou, who was imprisoned in 2012 for whistleblowing, has revealed why he believes the rumored “client list” of Jeffrey Epstein will never be made public. Kiriakou, speaking to the Daily Mail, suggested that powerful forces, possibly linked to intelligence agencies like the Mossad, may be preventing the release of sensitive information tied to Epstein’s activities.
In recent months, President Donald Trump’s administration has faced growing criticism over its handling of Epstein-related documents, including surveillance footage from New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, where Epstein was held until his death in 2019. The controversy has sparked a significant backlash within the MAGA community, with many of Trump’s supporters calling for the dismissal of Attorney General Pam Bondi after she initially promised to release all Epstein-related files but later claimed no such “client list” exists.
The Department of Justice (DOJ), under Bondi’s leadership, has also dismissed speculation that Epstein’s death in his jail cell was anything other than suicide, further fueling public skepticism. This reversal has led to accusations of a cover-up, prompting a divide among Trump’s base. Some loyalists believe Bondi’s failure to deliver transparency warrants her removal, while others continue to support the administration’s stance.
During a recent cabinet meeting, a visibly frustrated Trump urged his supporters to move on from the Epstein issue, dismissing it as a “Democrat-run hoax” and calling those fixated on it “weaklings.” When pressed about allegations that the administration is withholding files due to Trump’s own implication, Kiriakou firmly denied this, stating he does not believe the president is named in any incriminating documents.
Kiriakou’s perspective aligns with claims made by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who earlier this month suggested Epstein may have worked for Israel’s Mossad, using his connections to blackmail prominent U.S. politicians. These allegations, while unproven, have added to the speculation surrounding the secrecy of Epstein’s network.
The article also highlights the case of Virginia Giuffre, a key figure in the fight to bring Epstein to justice, who claimed she was trafficked to high-profile individuals, including Prince Andrew. Tragically, Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025, leaving behind a legacy of courage in exposing Epstein’s crimes.
As the debate over the Epstein files continues, the lack of transparency has deepened public distrust, with many questioning whether the full truth about Epstein’s associates will ever come to light.
