Joe Rogan sharply criticized Bill Clinton after the former president claimed that someone was being “protected” in the redacted release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Clinton made the statement through a spokesperson, saying the way the documents were released suggested hidden protection, even though it was unclear who or what was being shielded.
On The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan openly mocked the remark, calling it unbelievable. He joked that Clinton’s statement sounded like “the killer pretending to be the detective,” adding that it felt like “the killer joining the search party.” Comedian Tom Segura, who was a guest on the episode, echoed the joke.
Rogan’s comments followed the release of photos showing Clinton socializing with Epstein, including one image that placed the former president in a hot tub with an unidentified woman. Referencing the photo, Rogan quipped on air, “We’ve got photos of you in a hot tub, buddy.”
The podcaster went on to speculate that Clinton’s public response may signal that some kind of deal had been made behind the scenes to limit exposure from the Epstein files. According to Rogan, issuing a confident press statement suggested reassurance rather than concern, implying that Clinton felt protected from further fallout.
