"Jimmy Kimmel made a concerted push to urge his viewers to adopt his freshly minted name for the Jeffrey Epstein case files the Trump-Epstein files flashing the name on screen several times in a recurring bit throughout his monologue. The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host began referring to the documents as such several nights ago, mockingly citing President Donald Trump's appetite for branding public institutions with his name, but on Thursday, he leveraged ongoing conversation about the scandal to try and send it mainstream. As he launched into a Valentine's Day-themed series of jokes, mocking Trump and his cabinet members, he segued to mention: You know, JD Vance has been very weakly defending his boss and the fact that Trump's name is mentioned more than a million times in what are now known as the Trump Epstein files. The name then flashed on-screen, complete with trademark symbol. The host paused as the audience cheered. He then added, We're getting that trademark, and we're going to, but you can spread it around, feel free!"
"Later in his monologue, he riffed on reports that the Justice Department is tracking lawmakers' search histories when probing the unredacted files: This is an interesting detail. Did you know there are 535 members of Congress? Do you know how many computers the Department of Justice set up to let them look through the 3 million pages of Trump-Epstein files? Upon the mention, the name flashed on-screen again, as the host quipped aside, pointing to the name: Trademark. Four, he said, delivering his punchline. There are four computers for all of them to share. I called the Burbank Library today they have 22 computers. The Trump-Epstein files has four. Watch above via ABC."
Jimmy Kimmel repeatedly displayed the label "the Trump-Epstein files" on screen and encouraged viewers to adopt the name. He framed the nickname as a parody of President Donald Trump's penchant for branding and used it during a Valentine's Day-themed monologue mocking Trump and cabinet members. Kimmel cited Rep. Jamie Raskin's Axios interview noting that Trump's name appears more than a million times in unredacted records available to Congress and joked about securing a trademark. He referenced reports that the Justice Department is tracking lawmakers' search histories and quipped that only four DOJ computers were provided to review three million pages, comparing that to 22 library computers.
