Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson says President Donald Trump directly ordered the government to cover up Jeffrey Epstein files, making the claim in an interview.
Carlson’s allegation is presented as a firsthand assertion about who gave the directive regarding documents linked to Epstein. The Daily Mail reports the claim as “stunning” and emphasizes Carlson’s wording that the order came “directly” from Trump.
The available materials here do not include responses or supporting evidence cited across outlets, nor do they provide confirmed details about the timing, scope, or specific documents involved. As a result, the reporting largely reflects Carlson’s account without additional corroboration from other sources in this set.
