Aaron Rodgers’ Epstein Talk Resurfaces Amid Demands For Full Epstein Files Release

Aaron Rodgers is back in the Jeffrey Epstein conversation, even though the interview making the rounds isn’t new. The NFL star’s appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show from about a year ago is resurfacing across social media as Jeffrey Epstein’s name continues to dominate headlines, with many demanding that the Trump administration release the full Epstein files. While some documents have been made public, critics say the material was heavily redacted, fueling fresh accusations that key details are being shielded from public view. Against that backdrop, Aaron Rodgers’ comments about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are now being replayed with a new level of intensity.

During the interview, Carlson opened with a question that has long been at the center of online speculation, asking, “Would you be shocked to learn that Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself?”

Rodgers didn’t hesitate. “No. I mean, how many Jeffrey Epstein-type people are out there?” he responded.

Carlson pressed him on what he meant by that, and Rodgers sharpened the point. “That's the real question," the NFL player said.

Tucker then asked for clarification, “You mean people who've been killed or people who are using sex as a blackmail tool?” to which Aaron said, “Yep. And then who's pulling the strings on that?”

As the exchange continued, Carlson asked Rodgers for guesses about who could be behind the alleged operation. Tucker asked, “Any guesses?” to which Rodgers replied, “Well, Gaine Maxwell has a lot of ties to the Mossad. Yep. That would make sense.”

From there, Rodgers suggested Epstein’s rise didn’t look organic. “I mean, Jeffrey didn't seem to get some of the appointments he was given in the prominence based on merit," he continued. "Somebody was putting him in the right spots. But I don't think he's the only one.”

Rodgers went further, describing what he viewed as a disturbing pattern involving powerful people, telling Carlson, “I think there's a problem, a weird, bizarre problem, really. It has a weird sex component to it, with some of the elites, and there's a pedophile component to it as well, which is really sick.”

He added, “And there are some prominent figures who are in the spotlight as of late.”

Rodgers later said he wants it exposed, but framed Epstein as someone with leverage. "I would like that to be exposed, but Jeffrey Epstein had the goods on everybody," he said.

And then came his claim about why Epstein’s death remains suspicious to him. "There were a lot of people that didn't want him to be alive, and then the whole wild story around multiple people being asleep and him not being watched at the time is real convenient," he speculated. "And I just don't believe in that many coincidences.”

Carlson didn’t hold back on his view of what happened, telling Rodgers, “He was murdered in federal detention in Manhattan. I don't think there's any question about that. And people lied about it, including the then Attorney General of the United States.”

Rodgers then pivoted to a comparison he’s made before, arguing it was “weird” how the Maxwell case didn’t dominate the media the way other high-profile courtroom moments did.

“I think there's some weird correlations between the anomalies that the Johnny Depp trial had eyes on it, crazy coverage, and the Ghislaine Maxwell trial had next to no coverage, no TV coverage, no nightly commentary about it," he said. “I mean she is indicted for trafficking kids, and nobody who she was trafficking kids to got indicted.”

Rodgers’ interview is resurfacing as the Epstein case is once again front and center in political and media debates. Epstein, a wealthy financier with powerful connections, was arrested in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges and later died in custody.

Authorities ruled his death a suicide, but public skepticism has persisted for years, and the renewed fight over the release of Epstein-related documents (that are not heavily redacted) has reignited the controversy.
