Tulsi Gabbard Says She’s Seen No Evidence Epstein Was Connected to Foreign or Domestic Intelligence Agencies

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that she’s seen no evidence to suggest that the late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein was connected to foreign or domestic intelligence agencies during a White House press briefing on Wednesday.

Gabbard’s comments came after a reporter asked, “On Jeffrey Epstein, can you rule out that he was connected in some way to any kind of intelligence, either foreign or domestic?”

“I haven’t seen any evidence or information that reflects that. If anything comes before me that changes that in any way, support the president’s statement loud and clear. If any credible evidence comes forward, he wants the American people to see it,” replied Gabbard.

In the days since the Trump administration abruptly announced the end of its inquiry into the Epstein matter, skeptics have presented a number of theories about who Epstein was and what he was doing.

Tucker Carlson, for instance, asserted that Epstein was working with Israel.

“The real question is, why was he doing this, on whose behalf, and where did the money come from?” asked Carlson rhetorically at a conference earlier this month before providing a possible answer:

And I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services, probably not American. And we have every right to ask, on whose behalf was he working? How does a guy go from being a math teacher at the Dalton School in the late 70s with no college degree to having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhattan? Where did all the money come from? And no one has ever gotten to the bottom of that because no one has ever tried. And moreover, it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches, that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government.

Now, no one’s allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been somehow cowed into thinking that’s naughty. [cheers] There is nothing wrong with saying that. There is nothing hateful about saying that. There’s nothing anti-Semitic about saying that. There’s nothing even anti-Israel about saying that…

And you have the right to expect your government will not act against your interests, and you have a right to demand that foreign governments not be allowed to act against your interests. [cheers] That’s not creepy. It shouldn’t be forbidden. And yet all of us have trained ourselves to believe that you can’t say that somehow. That that’s like too naughty and forbidden. And the effect of making that off-limits has been to create a lot of resentment and I’ll say it, hate online, where people feel like they can’t just say, “What the hell is this? You have the former Israeli prime minister living in your house? You have all this contact with a foreign government. Were you working on behalf of them? Were you running a blackmail operation on behalf of a foreign government?

By the way, every single person in Washington, D.C. thinks that. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t think that. I don’t know any of them that hate Israel. But no one feels they can say that. Why? And I think the longer we play along with it, the more subterranean and creepy and hateful the conversation becomes. So, I think it’s better just to say it right out loud.
