[U.S. Vice President Vance Accuses Israel of Plotting Against Him, Claims Epstein Had Ties to Mossad]
During a conversation with podcast host Joe Rogan, U.S. Vice President Vance alleged that, due to his efforts toward advancing the Iran peace process, he had become the target of a propaganda campaign funded by Israel, and claimed that financier Jeffrey Epstein had connections with the "highest levels" of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad.
Vance cited reporting from American media outlets stating that certain U.S. opinion leaders were paid to attack the Iran deal, with funds flowing through a former Trump campaign staffer and ultimately backed by internal forces within the Israeli government. "My response was, 'To hell with them,'” Vance said when referring to those who took money to smear him. He complained about being labeled anti-Semitic and asserted that Israel is losing the battle for public opinion within the United States.
Vance stated that "figures" within the Israeli government are manipulating American public opinion in order to prolong the war indefinitely. He then shifted focus to the Epstein scandal, revealing that the financier "obviously had ties" to the highest echelons of U.S. intelligence and to Israel’s intelligence community. When Rogan pointed out that most people believe Epstein worked for Mossad, Vance did not dispute this claim.
Vance described himself as a "conspiracy theorist" on the issue of Epstein, saying any evidence linking Epstein to intelligence agencies was likely destroyed after 2006. "I will believe there’s something going on until the day I die," Vance said, even though he acknowledged he couldn’t prove it. He admitted the current administration had "completely botched" handling related documents and blamed Attorney General Pam Bondi for the failure.
Vance proposed his own theory: Epstein gained influence over billionaires by designing dubious tax avoidance schemes for his original benefactor, Victoria’s Secret billionaire Leslie Wexner. Vance stated that Epstein had ties to the left-leaning faction within Israel’s deep state, rather than its right-wing elements, and admitted: "I don’t know what that means."
