Jimmy Kimmel is offering his take on why Melania Trump unexpectedly addressed her ties to Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday, April 9.

During his monologue on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" the comedian questioned the timing of the first lady's press conference, which came days after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and the United States.

"He spent the past six weeks trying to bomb this Epstein story out of the headlines. Two days after the ceasefire, she puts it right back on top," Kimmel said.

"She must really hate him. I don't know how else to explain it," he added.

Kimmel, a known critic of the president, has criticized Trump's handling of the war in Iran. The late-night host earlier this week slammed Trump's threat to kill Iran's "whole civilization."
