Shocking Hidden Camera Revelations: Former DOJ Investigator Claims Epstein Was a CIA Asset, Implicates Clinton in Plane Assaults
In a bombshell hidden-camera video released on September 24, 2025, by investigative journalist James O’Keefe’s O’Keefe Media Group, a former Department of Justice (DOJ) official made explosive claims about Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to intelligence agencies and high-profile figures. Glenn Prager, who described himself as a senior investigator in the Epstein case, alleged during a candid conversation on a flight from Phoenix to Washington, D.C., that the late financier and convicted sex offender was a CIA asset. The footage, which has garnered millions of views on X (formerly Twitter), has reignited long-standing conspiracy theories and demands for full transparency in the Epstein saga.
Prager, now the Executive Director of Government Risk Solutions at LexisNexis Risk Solutions—a global data analytics firm—claimed in the 13-minute recording to have over 20 years of experience in fraud investigations and program integrity, including oversight of sensitive cases involving the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Marshals. Posing as a fellow traveler, O’Keefe’s undercover reporter engaged Prager in what appeared to be a casual chat, prompting revelations that could upend public understanding of Epstein’s protection network. “I’ll tell you this. Because it’s not talked about yet. But it’s soon to come out. That he [Epstein] was a CIA informant,” Prager stated flatly.
He elaborated that the DOJ had deliberately avoided pursuing Epstein aggressively “because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel,” suggesting a web of international intelligence interests shielded the predator.
Epstein, who died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges, has long been the subject of speculation about his connections to powerful elites and spy agencies. Flight logs from his infamous “Lolita Express” jet show dozens of trips by politicians, celebrities, and business leaders, including former Presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. Prager’s comments zero in on these logs and his alleged firsthand interviews with victims, painting a stark picture of complicity and cover-ups.
Clearing Trump, Damning Clinton: Victim Interviews and Flight Logs
One of the most politically charged segments of the tape involves Prager’s assessment of Trump and Clinton’s involvement. Drawing from what he described as direct victim testimonies and flight itineraries, Prager asserted that Trump bears no culpability in the assaults. “I’ve interviewed all the victims. There’s never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids and the rapes occurred,” he said. “But that can’t be said for Clinton. And it can’t be said for others.”
He emphasized that while Trump flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times—often cited in public records—there was no overlap with the underage victims during the alleged crimes.
In contrast, Prager leveled direct accusations at Clinton, who took at least 26 documented flights on the jet between 2001 and 2003, according to previously unsealed court documents. “While Bill Clinton was on [Epstein’s] plane, there were rapes that occurred,” Prager claimed. “And that’s where the big cover-up was.”
These statements align with victim accounts from Epstein’s 2008 Florida plea deal and Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction, where underage girls described being trafficked and abused on the plane and at Epstein’s properties. However, no criminal charges have ever been filed against Clinton in connection to Epstein, fueling years of partisan finger-pointing.
Prager didn’t stop at exculpating Trump entirely. He suggested the president is withholding Epstein files not for self-preservation, but to safeguard others. “He’s protecting a lot of other people… He’s not protecting himself, because there’s nothing there,” Prager said, referencing ongoing battles within the Trump administration. He mentioned Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for FBI director, and Attorney General Pam Bondi clashing over document releases: “So he [Patel] and Pam Bondi are fighting. Why can’t we release stuff that we were supposed to release?”
Trump has dismissed Epstein scrutiny as a “Democrat hoax,” a characterization Prager rejected outright: “I mean, come on. You know it’s not a hoax... He says a lot of stupid stuff.”
DOJ Pushback: “No Understanding of the Facts”
The video’s release prompted swift backlash from the DOJ, which distanced itself from Prager’s narrative. A spokesperson told O’Keefe Media Group: “This individual [Glenn Prager] worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over 15 years ago. He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation.”
When reached by phone, Prager himself hung up after saying, “I can’t talk to you,” and later issued a statement clarifying that he believed the conversation was private and based on public information, not classified details.
Critics, including former federal prosecutor Shipwreckedcrew on X, labeled Prager’s role a mismatch for Epstein probes, noting the DOJ’s Office of Inspector General focuses on internal misconduct, not criminal cases.
O’Keefe, ousted from Project Veritas in 2023 amid internal turmoil, has a history of controversial stings accused of deceptive editing. Yet the unedited footage shows Prager speaking freely, without apparent coercion. Republican figures like Rep. Thomas Massie amplified it on X, posting: “Senior DOJ Investigator who says he interviewed victims for the government’s Epstein case spills the beans on a hidden camera.”
The clip amassed over 4 million views in hours, with users from across the spectrum demanding the full release of Epstein’s files—now exceeding 33,000 pages but still redacted.
Broader Implications: Intelligence Ties and the Quest for Justice
Prager’s CIA claim echoes unproven theories from Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, where then-U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta reportedly told Trump’s transition team that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” No official confirmation has emerged from the CIA or DOJ reviews, but Prager’s words add fuel: “They [DOJ] didn’t want to go after Epstein because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel.”
Israeli connections, via Epstein associate Ehud Barak and Maxwell’s father Robert (a rumored Mossad agent), have similarly swirled in media reports.
As of September 25, 2025, the White House has referred inquiries to the DOJ, which has not elaborated further. Prager’s allegations, if substantiated, could expose systemic failures in prosecuting elite networks. Victims’ advocates argue the tape underscores why Epstein evaded full accountability for decades—protected not just by wealth, but by shadowy alliances. Whether this leads to new probes or fades as “disinformation” remains unclear. One thing is certain: In the Epstein files’ shadow, trust in institutions hangs by a thread, and calls for unredacted truth grow louder by the day.
