Tucker Carlson told Vanity Fair’s Chris Whipple that President Donald Trump is “directly” responsible for covering up the Epstein files. Carlson described private conversations with Trump that took place before the two had a falling out. The remarks appeared in a lengthy piece about Vice President JD Vance that was published on Wednesday.
Carlson said he told Trump from the start that he did not understand why any of the material would stay secret. He said Trump gave him a bunch of different answers. Carlson said those explanations did not convince him that the files should have been withheld. “I don’t feel any need to cover for Epstein. So I said, ‘You shouldn’t either.’ In the end, it came from Trump directly.”
