Kimmel Pushes ‘Trump‑Epstein Files’ Label, Citing Million-Hit Trump Mentions

The late-night host is using a rebrand to draw attention to Trump’s frequent appearances in congressional records under renewed scrutiny.

Overview

  • On Thursday’s show, Jimmy Kimmel repeatedly referred to Jeffrey Epstein documents as the “Trump‑Epstein files,” flashing an on‑screen graphic with a trademark symbol and urging viewers to “spread it around.”
  • Kimmel cited Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim that searches for “Don,” “Donald” and “Trump” in largely unredacted records available to Congress produced more than one million results.
  • Other reporting has described Trump as appearing “thousands” of times in the files, underscoring a discrepancy in how the references are counted.
  • Kimmel mocked logistical limits on access to the materials, saying the Justice Department provided four computers for all 535 lawmakers to review roughly 3 million pages.
  • He also blasted Attorney General Pam Bondi’s conduct in a recent House hearing on the files, while noting that Trump denies wrongdoing and says he cut ties with Epstein in 2006.
