Recently, Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson caused a stir when he opined on the death of prominent financier Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein was arrested and presumed dead while being held in jail awaiting trial for sex trafficking. Carlson’s opinion caused a stir because Epstein was a prominent figure in the finance industry.
During the course of a comprehensive examination of his program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Recently, on one of his shows, the presenter brought up a number of significant concerns surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s unsolved death and pleaded with the newly elected Republican majority in the House to launch an exhaustive investigation.

“It’s all very strange and the story gets much stranger once you start pressing a little bit. We’ve pressed pretty hard for the last few days on this question, not because we have any special affection for Jeffrey Epstein. We’ve pressed because you don’t want to live in a country where it’s possible to murder people in federal lockup, cover up the killings, and then get away with them. That’s scary,” Carlson said.
“That should not be allowed in this or any other civilized place, but in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, it appears that it was allowed and on one level, you can see why it was. This is one of those crimes that have no natural constituency pushing to solve it,” he added.
Carlson brought his speech to a close by making an impassioned appeal to the Department of Justice to launch an inquiry into Epstein’s untimely death.
“For moving on four years now, there has never been an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death, the death of an American citizen. Now, we can only speculate as to why that is, but all the explanations are bad and ominous. Maybe someone in the new Republican Congress should look into all of this, not because Jeffrey Epstein was an American hero, but because for once it would be nice to see the federal government forced to tell the truth about something,” he said.

In 2019, it was stated in the New York Times that: “The New York City medical examiner said that Jeffrey Epstein’s death in a federal jail cell was a suicide, confirming he had hanged himself.”
“But the chief medical examiner in New York City, Dr. Barbara Sampson, ruled out foul play. She released a terse statement saying that, after an autopsy and a ‘careful review of all investigative information,’ she had determined the cause of Mr. Epstein’s death was “hanging” and the manner was ‘suicide,’” the NYT added.
In a recent program shown on Fox News, the acquaintance that Bill Clinton has maintained for decades with Jeffrey Epstein was subject to investigation. The report gave the impression that the former President had kept in touch with the disgraced banker over the course of several years; nevertheless, the specifics of their relationship are unclear.
“Former President Bill Clinton was a much more frequent flyer on a registered sex offender’s infamous jet than previously reported, with flight logs showing the former president taking at least 26 trips aboard the “Lolita Express” — even apparently ditching his Secret Service detail for at least five of the flights, according to records obtained by FoxNews.com.,” the outlet reported.
Visitor records indicated that Jeffrey Epstein made a number of trips to the White House during the period that Bill Clinton was in office. Some of the logs indicate that he visited the building on several occasions in a single day.
“It’s not clear if Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell in 2019, actually met or interacted with Clinton during his other visits, and the former president wasn’t in the building for at least a few of Epstein’s trips there, the Mail said. The visitor logs, obtained by the Mail through a request with the Clinton Presidential library, showed Epstein first visiting the White House on Feb. 25, 1993 – a little more than a month after the Democrat first took office. During that visit, his destination was listed as WW — apparently the West Wing – and his invitation was issued by Rubin, according to the report,” the New York Post reported.
“Clinton has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s sexual misdeeds, but had maintained ties with him over the years and was said to have been a passenger on Epstein’s private jet several times, including once in 2002 when the ex-president was photographed with one of Epstein’s eventual rape accusers. Maxwell attended the 2010 wedding of Clinton’s daughter Chelsea,” the outlet added.
