Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard did not rule out the possibility that infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had connections to foreign intelligence operations before his death.
Gabbard also explained details in what she referred to as a “treasonous” plot against President Donald Trump.
During a White House press briefing on Wednesday, Gabbard was asked directly whether Epstein had any known ties to either foreign or domestic intelligence agencies.
“I haven’t seen any evidence or information that reflects that,” Gabbard said, responding to a question from the Daily Mail.
“If anything comes before me that changes that in any way, I support the president’s statement loud and clear, if any credible evidence comes forward he wants the American people to see it,” she went on.
The question stems from Epstein’s 2008 plea deal, in which the disgraced financier received just 13 months behind bars despite facing serious charges. The lenient deal stunned federal prosecutors, who had identified dozens of victims prepared to testify.
That deal was negotiated by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who later reportedly said he was told Epstein “belonged to intelligence” and to back off the case, according to the Daily Mail.
Acosta eventually served in the Trump administration as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
In a 2019 press conference, he was asked if Epstein was an intelligence asset.
In response, he did not confirm the claim but said he was cautious about unverified reports.
Earlier this month, Attorney General Pam Bondi also said she had no information linking Epstein to any intelligence agencies.
“To him being an agent, I have no knowledge about that,” Bondi said.
Gabbard’s appearance at the press briefing wasn’t limited to the Epstein matter. The National Intelligence director also delivered bombshell allegations about a coordinated effort by former intelligence officials to push the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative.
She accused former President Barack Obama and key intelligence leaders of engaging in what she called a “treasonous conspiracy” designed to sabotage President Trump’s first term in office.
“The stunning revelations that we are releasing today should be of concern to every American,” Gabbard said. “This is not about Democrats or Republicans—this is about the integrity of our democratic republic.”
She cited newly declassified documents and named former DNI James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey as central figures in the effort.
Gabbard pointed to the now-debunked Steele dossier and said Brennan insisted it be included in intelligence briefings, despite widespread concerns about its reliability.
She also accused the media of collaborating with anti-Trump intelligence figures to deceive the public and destabilize the administration.
“President Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Comey, James Clapper, and others including the mouthpieces in the media knowingly lied,” Gabbard said.
She announced that the documents released this week would be referred to the Department of Justice and the FBI for further investigation.
“I’m not an attorney … but when you look at the intent, creating a fake, manufactured intelligence document that directly contradicts multiple assessments created by the intelligence community, the expressed intent and what followed afterward can only be described as a year’s long coup and treasonous conspiracy against the American people, our republic, and an attempt to undermine President Trump’s administration,” she said.
