Jimmy Kimmel said President Donald Trump once again tried to duck questions about late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whom Trump once called a “terrific guy” and “a lot of fun to be with.”
The Trump administration promised to release the government’s unredacted files on Epstein, but instead gave MAGA social media influencers binders of information that had largely already been released.
Kimmel said they promised to fix that.
“They said they had agents pulling all-nighters. They were told they’re working uninterrupted to make this their number one priority,” Kimmel said. “Well, that was like three weeks ago and we still haven’t seen anything.”
There might be a reason for that.
“Trump as you know was a good pal of Jeffrey Epstein’s,” Kimmel said. “So he was likely not thrilled to be asked about him during an interview with Fox Noticias in Español.”
Kimmel rolled a clip from Trump’s interview with Fox News’ Spanish-language broadcast in which Epstein’s name came up.
“You’ll be surprised to learn he took an El Paso on answering that question,” Kimmel cracked.
