Trump Threatens to Sue Trevor Noah Over Grammy Joke Tying Him to Epstein
The threat follows a batch of newly public Epstein records that officials say may include false or manipulated material.
Overview
- While announcing Billie Eilish's Song of the Year win, Trevor Noah quipped that Trump wants Greenland because, with Epstein gone, he needs a new island to be with Bill Clinton.
- Trump blasted the Grammys on Truth Social, called Noah a "loser," and said he would send lawyers to file a lawsuit, suggesting CBS could be implicated.
- He labeled the remark defamatory and said he has never been to Epstein’s island or anywhere near it, claiming he had never previously been accused of doing so.
- Recent releases of millions of Epstein-related documents include uncorroborated testimony mentioning Trump, and U.S. officials caution some items may be false or manipulated.
- Trump has also threatened to sue author Michael Wolff over alleged false associations, while Noah has said this will be his final year hosting the Grammys after six editions.
