In a July 15, 2026, Joe Rogan interview, Vice President Vance said Jeffrey Epstein "clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence" and Israeli intelligence. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said in July 2025 she had seen no such evidence. The contradiction exposes a public split within the executive branch on a politically explosive question.
