Trump Calls on MAGA Supporters to Allow His Alleged Epstein Cover-up to Continue Unhindered
In a recent article published on July 13, 2025, on the website paulcraigroberts.org, renowned economist and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Paul Craig Roberts sheds light on a potential conflict of interest surrounding President Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Roberts claims that Trump's apparent inaction regarding the Epstein cover-up may be rooted in pressure from Israel and its leadership, particularly Prime Minister Netanyahu. According to Roberts, Trump is "totally powerless in the presence of Israel," and Netanyahu ensures that Trump understands that Epstein's connections to Mossad must not be exposed.
Roberts further argues that the Epstein cover-up serves the interests of the ruling elite who want to prevent whistleblowing on them. He suggests that the U.S. government has effectively become a "captive nation" under this influence, with Netanyahu's visit to Trump being more about protecting the Epstein-Mossad connection than any official reason such as Iran.
The article does not provide specific details about the Epstein cover-up or any evidence to support the claim that Trump is powerless in the presence of Israel. Furthermore, it does not offer any information about any potential consequences for Trump's actions or inactions regarding the Epstein case or the current status of the case.
In summary, Roberts portrays the Israeli government’s covert leverage, symbolized by Netanyahu’s role, as the decisive influence restraining Trump from addressing the Epstein scandal, framing Trump as powerless in this context. The article raises questions about the extent of Israeli influence on U.S. politics and the potential impact on the Epstein case.
