Rogan, in his podcast, questioned former Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI director Kash Patel.

The FBI and DOJ declared their closure in the case surrounding the Epstein files
Epstein files, one of the most controversial lists in the United States, allegedly involving the names of several high-profile celebrities, have once again become a hot topic of discussion. Joe Rogan joined the chorus on Tuesday, slamming the Trump administration and the Department of Justice (DOJ) for their handling of the Epstein files.
In Tuesday’s episode of his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, the host questioned former Attorney General Pam Bondi. He also criticised the DOJ’s investigation into the controversial case involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, reported the New York Post.
His comments come days after an announcement from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the DOJ declaring the case surrounding the Epstein files closed, stating that Epstein had no known list of clients. The agencies also concluded that Epstein took his own life, putting an end to speculation surrounding his death.
Their conclusion contradicted earlier claims made by Attorney General Bondi, who stated in May that the FBI was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn". His comments also condemned the work done by FBI director Kash Patel, who has previously questioned the official narrative regarding Epstein’s death but later changed his stand.
Mocking the latest report, Rogan said, “They’ve got videotape and all of a sudden they don’t. Why’d they say there were thousands of hours of tapes of people doing horrible s–t? Why’d they say that?"
The Trump administration had previously drawn attention for promising to release everything it had on the sex offender. It also published The Epstein Files: Phase 1 in February. However, it contained no new information regarding the alleged clients.
Criticising the Trump administration’s current stance, Rogan added, “Just bomb Iran and everybody forgets. Everybody forgets about it." For context, the US carried out strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in June this year, days after Israel launched attacks on the country.
Rogan has previously criticised the US President, particularly when he referred to ICE roundups of undocumented immigrants as “insane". He argued that authorities should focus on catching dangerous criminals instead of conducting mass arrests.
Surprisingly, despite being a frequent critic of the President, Rogan ultimately endorsed Trump for the 2024 presidential election, saying Elon Musk’s arguments had helped convince him.
