qwant news | Erika Kirk is not in Epstein files audio, despite claims. Here's who's really on the recording by undefined

**Claim and Rating**
A rumor circulating in March 2026 alleged that a phone‑call recording found in Jeffrey Epstein’s federal case files—dubbed the “leaked DOJ wiretap audio”—featured Turning Point USA activist Erika Kirk scheduling teenage girls for sexualized massages for Epstein. The claim was labeled **False** by fact‑checkers.

**What the audio actually is**
The recording is part of a 2005 Palm Beach Police Department probable‑cause affidavit that documents a sexual‑battery investigation involving Epstein, his assistant Sarah Kellen, and a young woman named Haley Robson. In the controlled phone call, Robson tells a 14‑year‑old girl (referred to only as “SG”) that “the more you do, the more you get paid,” and arranges a massage appointment at Epstein’s house. The audio was obtained by police during the investigation, not by a secret DOJ wiretap, and the voice belongs to Robson, not Erika Kirk.

**Context and aftermath**
The rumor gained traction after an X user, Project Constitution, posted the clip with the caption that Erika Kirk was scheduling under‑age girls for Epstein, later issuing a correction and apology. Snopes contacted Turning Point USA and Robson for comment; no response was received from the former, while Robson has spoken publicly about her victimization and advocacy work. The incident underscores how misidentified audio can fuel false narratives about public figures.
