Megyn Kelly says she has listened to never-before-heard audio of Jeffrey Epstein and that those recordings show a closed-door strategy session in April 2019 involving Epstein, Michael Wolff, Steve Bannon and, she uniquely identifies, former Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler. Kelly insists the tapes reveal the elites around Epstein plotting PR strategies and even joking as they tried to rehabilitate his image, a revelation that deserves far more attention than the usual late-night snickering.
It’s worth noting that parts of Michael Wolff’s Epstein recordings were already published by The Daily Beast, which made public roughly an hour and 44 minutes of tape and reported Epstein’s own boasts about his closeness to powerful figures. The existence of more hours of recording — Wolff has claimed he holds up to 100 hours — underlines the potential for explosive disclosures that the mainstream press has been slow to interrogate in full.
Conservatives should not reflexively trust every leak, but neither should we permit a double standard where convenient friends of the left are protected by sympathetic lawyers and journalists. Kelly’s reporting that Ruemmler — a lawyer with deep ties to the Washington establishment — was present in the session raises serious questions about how the elite handled Epstein long before his final arrest, and whether political influence insulated him from accountability. At the same time, Kelly has drawn criticism for disputing some labels applied to Epstein, a controversy whipped up by the usual cable-panel moralizing; the focus should remain on facts and victims, not performative outrage.
The timing of the newly released materials and the House Oversight Committee’s subpoenas of Epstein’s estate make this more than gossip: members of Congress are demanding transparency about what those emails and recordings actually show and who benefited from Epstein’s access. Americans of every political stripe should demand that any tape, email, or document that sheds light on trafficking networks, enablers, or official misconduct be produced to investigators without gamesmanship.
For too long the media elite has treated Epstein like a convenient prop — useful when it served a partisan hit and ignored when it might expose friends. Megyn Kelly’s persistence in playing whistleblower here is exactly the kind of independent reporting the country needs: nobody should get a free pass because they’re connected, and everybody who aided or abetted a predator deserves scrutiny, regardless of party. The real test will be whether lawmakers and prosecutors follow the paper trail instead of letting this story fade into another evening of sanctimonious cable takes.
If the remaining tapes and emails are truly as revealing as has been suggested, then the public and Congress must insist on their release and a fearless investigation into everyone who shielded Epstein. Meanwhile, the predictable liberal campaign to cancel any voice that raises inconvenient questions — including assaults on commentators like Megyn Kelly — shows that the left would rather suppress debate than face uncomfortable truths about its own networks. America deserves the truth, full disclosure, and accountability; anything less is a betrayal of victims and of the rule of law.
