CIA Whistleblower Shares ‘Real’ Reason Why Epstein Files Will Never See Light Of Day
An alleged “client list” maintained by Jeffrey Epstein will never be shared with the public, according to a former CIA agent who has come forward with his insight about what contents may still be hidden from the government’s investigation.
John Kiriakou, who was convicted in 2012 of leaking the agency’s waterboarding interrogation methods on prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, shared his views on Epstein and why President Donald Trump may be withholding more disclosures in the case.
In a recent episode of Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, Kiriakou stated that he thinks the CIA is exercising total control over the government’s investigation into Epstein, who died in jail in 2019. One reason for doing so, he predicted, is for national security purposes.
Specifically, said Kiriakou, Epstein is rumored to have been an intelligence asset for Mossad, Israel’s clandestine spy agency.
“I believe that he was a Mossad access agent. It makes perfect sense to me,” said Kiriakou, who now works for Russian news network Sputnik.
“Jeffrey Epstein, in my view, is a textbook case of an access agent. I’ve said this before, but I think it’s important and it bears repeating,” he told Bet-David.
“If you are a foreign intelligence service and you want information from … important people, you want secret information from them—you’re not going to recruit them.
‘They don’t need anything from you. They don’t have any financial vulnerabilities. So you do the next best thing: you recruit someone who has access to them, and you finance this person… he has a private island.”
Kiriakou’s hypothesis also extends to Epstein’s mistress, Ghislaine Maxwell, and her father Robert Maxwell, who has been rumored to have been a former Israeli spy.
Asked by David-Bet who has actually seen the list, Kiriakou replied, “I think it’s actually more than most people realize,” pointing to testimony by the late Virginia Giuffre, who long alleged she was abused by Prince Andrew after meeting Epstein.
“Virginia Giuffre and five other young women in their statements, in their lawsuit, told us there were rooms with banks of monitors… monitoring every room and every bathroom,” he explained, the Daily Mail reported.
“So if there were clients—and I believe there were—and they were having sex with minors—and I believe they were—every single person who was hired to monitor those screens would have known.
“I believe there was a list, a client list. There had to have been. We know there was a black book—it sold at Sotheby’s for heaven’s sake. So where is it? Was it destroyed? And even if it was, why didn’t Ghislaine Maxwell try to use it to save herself?”
President Donald Trump and members of his administration have remained under fire weeks after the U.S. Justice Department announced that no “client list” existed and that no one else would be charged as a result of the investigation. The president has fired back in numerous blustery statements, accusing both Democrats and supporters of falling for a “hoax” perpetuated by his enemies.
