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.
