Overview
- At a brief exchange with reporters this week, President Trump ignored a question about suing Trevor Noah, and no lawsuit has been filed so far.
- Trump had called Noah’s Grammys remark “false and defamatory” on Truth Social and said he would send lawyers to sue, while insisting he has never been to Epstein’s island.
- During his monologue, Noah joked that with Epstein’s island gone, Trump would want a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton, prompting audible gasps in the arena.
- Recent DOJ disclosures expanded the public Epstein archive to more than 3 million pages, with thousands of files referencing Trump and an email listing him as a passenger on Epstein’s jet in the 1990s, and no charges have been brought against Trump or Bill Clinton.
- Jimmy Kimmel noted on his show that Trump dragged him into the dispute, reacting after Trump also knocked his hosting in remarks and in the Truth Social post.
