Late-night hosts discussed Donald Trump’s aversions, denials and flip-flops on the release of the Epstein files
Late-night hosts tore into the next chapter of Donald Trump’s never-ending Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Jon Stewart ripped into Trump on Monday evening after the president abruptly changed tack and called on House Republicans to authorize the justice department’s release of files related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender – files which Trump himself could order to be released.
“If he had nothing to hide, he could have declassified and released these files himself at any time,” the Daily Show host explained. “How do I know this? A legal expert named Donald Jurisprudence Trump said so.”
Stewart then played footage of Trump from 2022 in which he insisted that the president can declassify anything, at any time, just by saying so or “even by thinking about it”.
