Tucker Carlson's jaw-dropping theory on why Trump is burying the Epstein list
Tucker Carlson said he believes the government is 'covering up' the Epstein files to protect US and Israeli intelligence services. Tucker - who has long claimed Jeffrey Epstein was tied to the Israeli Mossad espionage service - is leading a MAGA backlash against the Trump administration's promises to release Epstein's anticipated 'client list.' In a major U-turn, Attorney General Pam Bondi released a memo this week re-affirming the Justice Department's ruling that Epstein's 2019 death was a suicide, and that he had no 'client list.' Tucker said it was 'obvious' that Bondi was 'covering up crimes'. Amid mounting scrutiny over Trump's handling of the controversy, Carlson said he is not convinced that the president was covering his own alleged ties to Epstein, and felt the reason is hinged on espionage. 'I don't think he's that guy, actually,' Carlson said of Trump. 'I don't think he likes creepy sex stuff.' Rather, Carlson floated a more sinister plot to protect the US and Israeli intelligence agencies was driving Trump's response. 'The only other explanation that I can think of... is that intel services are at the very center of this story, U.S. and Israeli, and they're being protected,' he said. 'I think that seems like the most obvious.' Carlson waded into the controversy hours after Elon Musk launched into another attack on MAGA world by claiming that former Trump advisor Steve Bannon is implicated in the Epstein files. Musk also alleged weeks ago that Trump is in the Epstein files, saying that 'is the real reason they have not been made public.' But on Carlson's show, his guest Sagaar Enjeti, the host of Breaking Points, agreed that intelligence services likely had a role in the growing scandal over the release of the files. Enjeti pointed to reports in 2021 that alleged that federal prosecutors had chosen not to prosecute pedophilia cases within the CIA. 'There have been multiple documented cases of pedophilia inside of the CIA perpetrated by CIA officers,' he said. 'This was a BuzzFeed News piece years back where the CIA specifically did not want to prosecute those individuals in federal court for fear that they would reveal sources and methods if they were pulled into open court and they basically just made it go away. 'The only time they actually prosecuted somebody for child pornography was whenever he'd already been prosecuted for mishandling classified information.' Carlson joked in response: 'Well, when they want to crush you, they put kiddie porn on your computer. It's why I don't have a computer!' The issue of Trump's handling of the Epstein files led the president to snap at a reporter on Tuesday when they asked Bondi about the Justice Department's internal review of the documents. Trump brushed off fury from his MAGA base over the abrupt conclusion of the Epstein probe this week, and accused the reporter who quizzed Bondi of 'desecrating' the deadly Texas flood tragedy. 'Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?' Trump lamented to reporters present for his six-month Cabinet meeting. 'This guy's been talked about for years.' He said that the media needs to move on from 'this creep' Epstein and focus more on the tragedy in Texas and ongoing wars in the Middle East and between Russia and Ukraine. In the past, Trump has riled up his base with theories over Epstein's death, and in his 2024 campaign he vowed to release all the government's secrets, along with documents from the much-scrutinized assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Trump, however, is now ready to move on from the Epstein files. 'Do you want to waste the time – do you feel like answering?' Trump asked his Attorney General, who was just one seat away from the president with Secretary of State Marco Rubio between them during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Bondi said she didn't mind answering the question, but Trump continued his tirade against the Post reporter. 'I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. 'It just seems like a desecration, but you go ahead,' he said to his embattled attorney general. Bondi then sought to clarify her past remarks about having Epstein's 'client list' on her desk, saying she never admitted there was a 'client list' and that she was actually referencing the complete paperwork related to the investigation into Epstein's child sex trafficking crimes. She then said that the reason more evidence was not released is because it contained child pornography. 'They turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein,' Bondi said. 'Never going to be released, never going to see the light of day.'

US issues expedited permit for proposed Tennessee coal mine
July 8 (Reuters) - The Trump administration said it permitted a proposed coal mine in Claiborne County, Tennessee on Tuesday under an expedited process aimed at accelerating federal environmental reviews of energy projects. In a statement, the Department of the Interior said it granted approval for Hurricane Creek Mining LLC to mine coal on Bryson Mountain in Claiborne County, Tennessee. The mine will produce up to 1.8 million tons of coal over the next decade, the agency said. The site was previously mined at various times between the 1950s and 2010. The rushed permit is aligned with President Donald Trump's goal to increase coal mining as part of his energy dominance agenda. The project is on private land but under federal law must be permitted by Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement. Hurricane Creek Mining could not immediately be reached for comment. In April, Interior said it would implement an emergency permitting process for energy and mining projects, slashing approval times that typically take months or years to 28 days. The department took another action this week to support coal. Interior's Bureau of Land Management on Monday said it is taking public comment on opening up coal leasing on public lands in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming. Comments will be taken through August 7 on opening up lands that former President Joe Biden put off-limits to leasing.
