Trump, who initially promised to release files related to the Epstein case, has instead been pushing back on the story, even calling it a “hoax.”
But a handful of Republicans have joined Democrats in Congress in calling for a full release of the files.
“They want to know who Jeffrey Epstein’s friends are,” Kimmel said. “Which, I have to say, I know who one of them is. He looks like this.”
Kimmel showed off a pic of Trump with Epstein, as the two were once very close.
“That is a man Jeffrey Epstein described as his best friend,” Kimmel pointed out.
Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), typically a staunch Trump supporter, is calling for the release of the files. And on Wednesday, she asked Trump to meet with some of the Epstein victims ― but hasn’t heard back yet.
“I’m sure he’ll get back to you on that very, very soon,” Kimmel said sarcastically. “Is she that out of it that she thinks he would want to meet these women in the Oval Office? Like, ‘Sure, send them in. I’d love to say hello. I haven’t seen them since they were teenagers.’”
The audience reaction started out with a laugh but ended up with a lot of “whoa” at that punch line.
