Epstein Dominates Discussion Among Trump’s Most Loyal Fans At TPUSA Conference

Jeffrey Epstein dominated conversation at Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) Student Action Summit (SAS) this weekend in Tampa, Florida.

Multiple high-profile conservative figures — including Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Laura Ingraham, and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk — voiced concerns over what they view as a persistent and troubling lack of transparency surrounding Epstein and his ties to powerful individuals.

They also raised the alarm over Trump officials’ handling of the case, particularly in light of a two-page memo and jailhouse footage leaked to Axios late Sunday. (RELATED: Unanswered Questions Continue To Fuel Epstein Speculation)

“I think the real answer is that Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of intel services — probably not American — and we have every right to ask, ‘On whose behalf is he working?’” Carlson said.

Carlson went on to highlight Epstein’s past ties to The Dalton School, a Manhattan private school which has “a reputation for attracting affluent parents and talented students,” according to a 2019 NPR report.

Epstein secured a teaching position at just 21 years old, despite having dropped out of college.

He also questioned how Epstein amassed such immense wealth given his limited background.”Moreover, it’s extremely obvious to anyone who watches that this guy had direct connections to a foreign government. No one is allowed to say that foreign government is Israel, because somehow we’re cowed into thinking that’s naughty,” Carlson added.

In a sit-down with Megyn Kelly at the summit, Charlie Kirk raised the question of whether Epstein had ties to intelligence agencies.

“Do you think there is any intel community involvement in this?” Kirk asked.

“I wouldn’t be surprised one bit,” Kelly answered. “I am convinced, based on my own sources and my own reporting on this story, he wasn’t one of ours.”

“So he wasn’t American, which leaves like three options — MI6, Saudi or Mossad. Which one would you choose?” Kirk further asked Kelly.

“I guess Mossad, given his connection to Ghislaine Maxwell,” she said. (RELATED: Trump DOJ Reportedly Concludes Epstein Had No Client List, Killed Himself)

“So what does that mean?” Kirk questioned.

Kelly speculated the Epstein case might be buried to conceal a “treasure trove” of damaging information — and criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi for dodging questions about Epstein’s alleged intelligence ties. At a cabinet meeting, Bondi told a reporter she had “no knowledge about that” and would “get back you on that,” which Kelly called “kind of a fishy answer.”

Kirk, speaking to the audience, then asked how many believed the Epstein case was being buried to protect Israel, noting about half raised their hands. Later, Kirk warned in an interview with The Washington Post that young Trump-aligned voters, already skeptical of government, were losing patience over the secrecy around Epstein.

“Their trust of government is zero,” Kirk said, adding that the energy among young MAGA voters risks “deflate like air out of a balloon.” While he dismissed the notion that this would end the movement, he acknowledged the risk of alienating younger, crypto-trading male voters who see the Epstein investigation as emblematic of establishment cover-ups.

“The only reason they were able to succumb themselves to engaging was because of Trump,” he said.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham also addressed the Epstein investigation during her remarks, asking the crowd if they were satisfied with its outcome — and was met with boos.
