Joe Rogan Slams Trump Administration’s Epstein File Secrecy as “Line in the Sand”
Popular podcaster and former Donald Trump supporter Joe Rogan has escalated his criticism of the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein probe, declaring the lack of transparency a “line in the sand.” Speaking on “The Joe Rogan Experience” recently, Rogan accused the administration of “trying to gaslight” the public regarding the release of files and information related to the convicted sex offender and his alleged clients.
Rogan’s remarks come as furor continues to build among Trump’s supporters over the administration’s stance. The Justice Department and FBI announced on July 7, 2025, that no further records from the Epstein investigations would be released, citing the presence of child sex-abuse material and potential trauma for victims. The memo also stated that their review found no evidence to predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties, a conclusion Rogan and others have publicly questioned.
During his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump actively utilized podcasts, including Rogan’s, to reach voters. Now, several podcasters, including Andrew Schulz, who hosted Trump on his “Flagrant” podcast, are expressing similar frustrations. Schulz previously criticized Trump for dismissing discussions about Epstein as a “waste” of time, calling it “insulting our intelligence.”
Despite the growing public pressure and calls from figures like Rogan’s recent guest, former CIA officer Mike Baker, for full disclosure, President Trump has dismissed concerns and denied reports that his name appeared in files reviewed by the Department of Justice and FBI. Rogan also specifically criticized FBI Director Kash Patel for unfulfilled promises of more evidence and details, questioning the administration’s approach to public intelligence.
As Congress prepares to return from its August break, Rogan emphasized that the public will “still be looking for answers” on the Epstein probe, underscoring the ongoing demand for transparency in this high-profile case.
