Rep. Thomas Massie alleges that Israel controls the US government and protects powerful billionaires in the Epstein files.
Verdict: Missing context.
In this clip, Massie never says Israel controls the US government. His only line about Israel is that Epstein had ties to Israeli intelligence: “Epstein also had close ties to our own intelligence agencies and Israel’s intelligence agencies.”
