« It’s not even a possibility that I would have ever went, especially after Googling him, » he continued. « I was like, ‘What the f**k are you talking about?' »
Rogan said the invite occurred in ‘like 2017’ claiming it was ‘one of [his] guests’ who ‘was trying to get [him] to meet’ Epstein.
Rogan added: « I was like, ‘B***h are you high? Like what the f**k are you talking about?' »
Hines then questioned Rogan as to ‘what reason’ he’d ever consider meeting with Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019.Rogan responded: « If I was a guy who is like sucking up to the rich and powerful. If I was really interested in hanging out with rich and powerful people.
« Some people get intoxicated by being in a circle of rich and powerful people even if they’re… they don’t even have any ambitions of being one of those people, they just want to be around them.
« […] Because what this guy was doing was very clever in that he was getting all of these very powerful and very respected people together. And you would figure, ‘Oh Clinton’s here. How could this be bad?’
« […] He would bring all these people in, all these famous people and entertainers and intellectuals and professors.
« […] You would go, I guess to these places and that’s how he’d convince everyone that everything would be fine. »President Donald Trump has spoken out after the latest batch of recently released Epstein files accused him of sexual abuse.
On Friday (January 30), the Department of Justice (DOJ) unveiled 3.5 million documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed last year.
Some of the documents included allegations against numerous figures, some of whom have responded, like Elon Musk and Bill Gates, who called the claims against him ‘absolutely absurd’ and ‘completely false’. Being included in the files doesn’t indicate any wrongdoing.
