Alex Jones on Monday broke down during a nearly 10-minute-long rant as he slammed President Donald Trump’s Justice Department over a memo that found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered or had a secret “client list.”
“NO ONE IS BUYING THIS!! Next the DOJ will say ‘Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed.’ This is over the top sickening,’” wrote the far-right conspiracy theorist in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Jones, who was ordered to pay over $1 billion for pushing false claims about the Sandy Hook shooting, is among those in MAGA world who have fueled a conspiracy theory that the disgraced financier didn’t kill himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges and kept a list of associates he could blackmail.
“It’s just absolute horseshit on its face, and it’s a disaster, absolute disaster,” said Jones in a video filmed from a car.
Jones went on to claim that it’s “very, very painful” and he had been physically ill since he woke up on Monday.
He later accused the Trump administration of being part of a “cover-up” and, after declaring that he was about to vomit, he began to fight back tears.
“I just really need the Trump administration to succeed and to save this country, and they’re doing so much good. And then for them to do something like this tears my guts out,” said Jones with watery eyes.
The DOJ’s conclusion that Epstein didn’t have a “client list” contradicts comments from Attorney General Pam Bondi about such a list, one she claimed was sitting on her desk for review back in February, as well as remarks by Trump’s top FBI officials that they’ve since backtracked from. In reality, documents related to Epstein and his death have contained names of people with whom he associated — but those associations were largely already publicly known.
The release of the memo comes just weeks after former White House official Elon Musk — amid his public breakup with Trump — accused the president of being in the “Epstein Files,” a post Musk has since deleted. Trump for years socialized with Epstein before the financier’s downfall, and the president’s name has appeared in unsealed documents related to the Epstein case. But Trump has never been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s crimes.
