“Gaslighting the American people”: Joe Rogan slams Donald Trump as truth battle over Jeffrey Epstein files explodes

Joe Rogan might soon get a top official from Donald Trump ’s team on his podcast, as a big decision is being talked about secretly in Washington, D.C. This comes after strong public reaction to how the government is handling the Jeffrey Epstein files . Millions of people are asking why the files are not being fully released. Even Joe Rogan, who supported Donald Trump in the 2024 election, is now upset. People want answers, and the Donald Trump team may finally respond but only if this interview actually happens. Here’s what we know so far.

Todd Blanche may sit with Joe Rogan to talk about Jeffrey Epstein
On the evening of Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Vice President J.D. Vance invited a small circle of a few of Trump’s highest-ranking aides for a private dinner at his home in Washington, D.C. Attendees included Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and FBI Director Kash Patel.

One of the important discussions was how to deal with public outrage regarding the Epstein Files, most of which remains hidden from public view.

According to sources who spoke to CNN and The Daily Beast, the group is considering sending Blanche to appear on The Joe Rogan Experience for a one-on-one interview.

This comes as the Department of Justice holds over 10 hours of taped conversations with Ghislaine Maxwell , Epstein’s former partner. Those tapes are not yet public, and pressure is growing.

Joe Rogan says the lack of openness is “Gaslighting” the public

Joe Rogan, the host of one of the world’s most listened podcasts, endorsed Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race , but now he’s calling out Trump’s administration.

In a recent episode, Joe Rogan said, “This is a line in the sand. You can’t keep hiding everything.” He also said the officials are “gaslighting the American people” by not sharing the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.

Back in 2019, Jeffrey Epstein died in jail while waiting for his trial. In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison. But many still want to know who else was involved and that’s the pressure Donald Trump’s team now faces.
