During a recent appearance with Jack Posobiec of Human Events Daily, guest Mike Benz explained that Epstein long maintained ties to the Deep State, and was even leased an upscale apartment in New York City by the U.S. State Department.

“There’s the strange broker role that Epstein seemed to play in commercial transactions and in the affairs of the billionaire class,” Benz stated during the show.

Comparing the situation to that involving Hunter Biden, Benz went on to explain that Epstein, like Hunter, maintained “relationships with large corporations and with very powerful nation-state governments.” They also both lived a “rock and roll lifestyle, high profile, high net worth, deep, deep connections, constantly surrounded by drugs and prostitutes and firearms.”

“The bagman for the Deep State was Jeffrey Epstein,” Posobiec then responded, calling Epstein “one of them.”

Benz then proceeded to outline to Posobiec the events that occurred in 1996 when the State Department decided to rent out a property that had belonged to an “Iranian tycoon” but that had formerly been seized to none other than Epstein.

“What the heck is the State Department doing with a transaction like that?” Benz asked.

Everything was fine for Epstein at the upscale apartment until he decided to sublet it for free to the lawyer who defended the mob in the 1987 Pizza Connection drug ring.

“This guy was the lawyer for the mob defending the mob against running international racketeering and drug laundering charges from the 70s and 80s,” Benz explained.

As for Epstein, the assistant attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department at the time was “saying Epstein belonged to intelligence, while the intelligence arms over diplomacy wing, the State Department, was simultaneously doing real estate deals with the guy while he was passing it on then to the seedy underbelly of the mob world.”
