JD Vance claims inside scoop on Epstein files, and he's spilling it at dinner parties

Vice President JD Vance recently shared secret info about the Jeffrey Epstein case during a casual dinner, according to comedian Tim Dillon in the podcast “The Epstein Cover-Up”. On the podcast, Dillon said he had dinner with Vance last week, and Vance told him that the so-called Epstein video files were just “commercial pornography” and didn’t show any powerful people in bad situations.

Dillon pushed back, asking: “Then why did Pam Bondi call it evidence?”—saying that the attorney general isn’t dumb and wouldn’t say that unless it meant something. Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, had earlier said there were “10,000 hours of video” and that she had files “on my desk” ready to review, as per The Daily Beast report.

What happened to Epstein files?

Epstein died in jail in 2019, with officials ruling it a suicide, but many still question this and want answers. Even now, people are mad that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI say there is no Epstein client list and that there will be no more arrests.

Trump and other MAGA supporters, including Vance, once pushed hard to get Epstein files released, believing powerful people were involved. But now, Trump and Vance seem to want to move on from the Epstein case, which is making people suspicious, according to the report by The Daily Beast.

Why is everyone suspicious now?

Dillon said on his podcast: “It feels like they’re hiding something, 100 percent.” He thinks the story they’re giving doesn’t add up. Back in December 2021, Vance tweeted: “What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein’s clients secret? Oh…”

In a June 2025 interview with comedian Theo Von, Vance said: “Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list. That is an important thing.” Just last week, Von re-shared the clip and asked Vance “What changed?”—calling out the VP for flipping his stance. Dillon’s podcast is popular, often getting hundreds of thousands of views, and he claims to be critical of both parties, as stated by The Daily Beast.

He even interviewed Vance before the 2024 election, and is also a frequent guest of Joe Rogan, who was part of Trump’s strategy to reach young voters during his campaign. As of now, Vance’s office has not responded to any media questions about Dillon’s claims, as per the reports.
