Former Fox News Host Asserts Trump Admin's 'Dangerous' Handling of Epstein Files Could Provoke 'Revolution'

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson responded to the Trump administration's newly released findings dismissing any Epstein "client list" or evidence of blackmail, suggesting that the position was "so crazy" it could spur revolt.

"How can you say that thousands of children were raped and then not find out who raped them?" Carlson asked on Tuesday's episode of his podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show, referencing claims made in past media appearances by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

"Really? Thousands of children got raped? Who raped them? Where are the rapists? Why aren't they in jail?" Carlson questioned. "This is the Department of Justice. That is so crazy."

Carlson called it "very dangerous to play around with this stuff," warning that the lack of accountability could push the country to the brink.

"I don't want a revolution," he said, "but if you wanted a revolution, this is how you would act."

Carlson's remarks came days after the DOJ and FBI under President Trump publicly concluded there was no credible evidence of a "client list" or blackmail scheme tied to Jeffrey Epstein—contradicting years of speculation, including from figures within the Trump administration.

The announcement has sparked fierce backlash from conspiracy theorists, prominent members of MAGA and former Trump allies, who see the DOJ's dismissal as a betrayal and sign of a cover up.
