Ahead of signing a bill to release<\/a> the Justice Department\u2019s files on the late convicted sex offender, Trump insisted to reporters on Monday that he and his administration had \u201cnothing to do\u201d with Epstein. He also claimed that all of Epstein\u2019s friends were Democrats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAll I want is I want for people to recognize a great job that I\u2019ve done on pricing, on affordability because we brought prices way down but they\u2019re going way lower,\u201d claimed Trump<\/a>, continuing his series of lies<\/a> about the cost of living.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meyers quipped that beef, coffee and bananas cost him \u201csix gold bars\u201d at the grocery store the other day, then tackled the president\u2019s comments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe funny thing is I can understand Trump being frustrated about the focus on Epstein if prices were going down, but they\u2019re not going down. He\u2019s basically saying, \u2018Don\u2019t focus on this shit thing, focus on this other shit thing,\u2019\u201d Meyers said. \u201cSaying I don\u2019t want Epstein to detract from prices is like a lawyer saying, \u2019Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my client would never embezzle company funds \u2015 just ask his wife, if you can find her!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Check out more of Meyers\u2019 Wednesday monologue on \u201cLate Night.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Celebrate<\/span>Truth<\/span>This Season<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The holidays can get loud.
