AUSTIN, TEXAS: Joe Rogan slammed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its probe into the Jeffrey Epstein files during a recent episode of his 'Joe Rogan Experience' podcast, while aiming his ire at the Trump administration.

The podcaster took a jibe at President Donald Trump's administration’s announcement that there was never a list or footage revealing clients of Epstein.

Joe Rogan slams DOJ over Epstein list in podcast rant

Joe Rogan said during his podcast, which was released on Tuesday, July 15, "They’ve got videotape and all of a sudden they don’t."

The 57-year-old added, "You had the director of the FBI on this show saying, ‘If there was [a videotape], nothing you’re looking for is on those tapes'," while referring to FBI Director Kash Patel’s appearance on the show in June.

"Like, what? Why’d they say there was thousands of hours of tapes of people doing horrible s**t? Why’d they say that? Didn’t Pam Bondi say that?" Rogan added.

The UFC color commentator was referring to comments Attorney General Pam Bondi made on July 1, days before the DOJ announced there was no Epstein List or incriminating footage of the late financier’s associates.

She told reporters that the FBI was reviewing "tens of thousands of videos" of Epstein.

Moreover, months earlier, Bondi intimated that the supposed Epstein List was on her desk waiting for review.

However, she later clarified that there was an Epstein investigation file ready for her review, and not the list that has been at the center of countless conspiracy theories.

Interestingly, DOJ's announcement comes after Trump spent months talking about plans to release everything the government had on Jeffrey Epstein and his associates.

During the podcast, Rogan didn’t seem to buy the Trump administration’s stance, and suggested that the president was trying to distract supporters from his campaign promises about the disgraced financier.

Rogan said, "Just bomb Iran and everybody forgets. Everybody forgets about it", while referring to US strikes on Iranian nuclear weapons facilities last month.

Internet sides with Joe Rogan as he rips DOJ over Epstein list

Several internet users sided with Joe Rogan as he ripped the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its probe into Jeffrey Epstein files.

A user wrote on X, "The truth must come out," while one added, "Something is definitely wrong."



 



 

A person also stated, "Questions that need answers, transparency is overdue," whereas one mentioned, "If there were thousands of hours of tapes, where are they now? The sudden disappearance feels way too convenient. it’s accountability being dodged in plain sight."



 



 

A user also wrote, "Trust in government is going to collapse if the Epstein List comes out. But it's also going collapse if the Epstein List doesn't come out," while one commented, "Questions raised when stories don’t add up."
