"Jon Stewart surprised his producer by insisting President Donald Trump would not lose support if it was revealed he was in the Epstein Files, something the comedian declared is completely plausible. On The Weekly Show, recorded on Wednesday and released in full on Thursday, Stewart declared Trump is likely in the Epstein Files following thousands of new documents related to the late child sex predator being released to the public, including emails referencing Trump by name."
"If Trump were to be in the Epstein files, and that's a very big if Brittany Mehmedovic said before Stewart jumped in. If? I'm sorry, if?! Did they not look at the emails today? When did they ask this question? If? He said he was gonna sue that's when you know, when Trump comes out, he's, I'm gonna sue Rupert Murdoch for insinuating that' when was the last time you heard about that lawsuit? It's gone. It's gone because he's in it, Stewart said."
"The White House claimed the media was simply trying to embarrass the president amid bipartisan calls for more Epstein documents to be released. Trump's Department of Justice set some critics off earlier this year when they denied that Epstein was sex trafficking women for friends and high-profile associates. Epstein died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges."
Thousands of newly released documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein include emails that reference Donald Trump by name. The emails do not itself accuse Trump of wrongdoing but have prompted renewed questions about any relationship. The White House characterized media coverage as an effort to embarrass the president amid calls for additional records. The Department of Justice previously denied that Epstein trafficked women for friends and high-profile associates. Epstein died by apparent suicide in 2019 while facing sex trafficking charges. Ghislaine Maxwell received a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking tied to Epstein.
