US Vice President JD Vance said Jeffrey Epstein had "clear connections to the highest levels of Mossad," claiming Epstein had ties to 'Israeli' intelligence.
Vance also admitted that the administration mishandled the release of the Epstein files, amid criticism over the process and calls for greater transparency.
No public evidence has confirmed that Epstein worked with Mossad or any intelligence agency.
Vance said the administration made mistakes in managing the release of Epstein-related documents, acknowledging that the handling of the files contributed to public anger and criticism.
He did not provide specific evidence to support his statement about Epstein's reported intelligence connections.
Separately, Vance said elements within the 'Israeli' government financed efforts to derail US-Iran negotiations through paid influencers.
He said the campaign targeted support for a potential diplomatic agreement with Iran and argued that US foreign policy should be driven by American interests.
The claims have been disputed by individuals linked to the campaign, who rejected accusations that they worked against the administration's negotiations.
