Joe Rogan criticized the FBI’s Kash Patel and Dan Bongino for not providing files on Jeffrey Epstein, questioning who truly manages information shared with the public.

The podcast host’s reaction followed the news that the Department of Justice is concluding its investigation into the case without revealing the disgraced financier’s ‘client list’ as had been suggested.

‘Kash came on the podcast and said, “There’s nothing that you want to see”,’ Rogan said during his show Friday.

‘Dan Bongino, who’s always yelling that we’ll uncover the truth and identify these individuals, now everyone’s saying “No, Epstein killed himself. No, nothing to look into here,” and that’s why people are skeptical.’

Patel and Bongino, along with other MAGA personalities, have fueled speculation that Epstein kept a shadowy ‘client list’ which would be reviewed and disclosed in due course.

Bongino stated there was ‘extremely credible’ evidence of a ‘multitude of tapes’ existed showing Epstein and associates committing child abuse, a claim which was echoed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

But Rogan claimed the reticence to release the files is indicative of the fact Kash and Bongino are being controlled by external forces.

‘People are cynical because you had all this hope for change, and then you realize, “Oh the same people that are pulling the strings are still pulling the strings”,’ he said.

‘I think the cynical perspective is that at the highest levels, it’s all being controlled by money and that’s not going to change.’ 

The DOJ, led by Bondi, said last week it had concluded that Epstein did not possess a ‘client list’ and that it had decided against releasing any additional records from the investigation.

Conspiracy theorists seized on the decision as the latest in a long line of attempts to cover up and cover for a shadowy list of associates that many believe Epstein kept.

The disgraced financier’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz denied the claims and said Epstein did not keep a list of clients.

Meanwhile Republicans on the House Rules committee blocked an amendment pushed by Democrats that would have allowed for the release of documents related to the Epstein probe.

The DOJ’s decision led to a revolt among MAGA loyalists, many of whom had hoped that the files would see prominent Democrats linked to Epstein.

The backlash pushed President Trump to request that Bondi release more of the materials.

‘Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,’ he wrote on his Truth Social account.

Bondi started that process on Friday by filing with the Southern District of New York to unseal the highly-secretive grand jury court documents in the case.

Although the filing is submitted it doesn’t mean the documents are coming anytime soon.

The grand jury information is only a part of the evidence that makes up the so-called Epstein files.

Trump’s vow to unseal more information came after the Wall Street Journal published a 50th birthday card it said he allegedly sent to Epstein in 2003.

It comes as Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers had appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction for sex trafficking. 

To date, she remains the only person behind bars for crimes associated with the late pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
