Former Navy SEAL and podcast host Shawn Ryan is drawing attention after publicly criticizing the lack of transparency and accountability surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Ryan, who has previously expressed support for former President Donald Trump, said the long-standing “drain the swamp” promise feels hollow in light of what he sees as unanswered questions and a failure to deliver justice for victims connected to the Epstein scandal.
His comments reflect growing frustration among some conservatives who expected deeper investigations and more public disclosures related to Epstein’s network and associates.
The Epstein case continues to spark debate across the political spectrum, with critics arguing that powerful figures have avoided full scrutiny, while others point to ongoing legal proceedings and prior prosecutions.
Ryan’s remarks highlight a broader concern: whether promises of institutional reform and accountability have truly been fulfilled — or whether the public is still waiting for answers.
