Stephen Colbert Trolls Trump With An Epstein Riddle For The Ages
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host mocked the president over his flip-flop on the release of the Epstein files.
“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday said the passage of a bill to release files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein isn’t what President Donald Trump wanted ― even if he eventually urged Republicans to vote for it.
“This is a dramatic legislative turnaround and a huge loss for Trump, make no mistake,” Colbert said. “For going on four months now, Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson fought the release of the Epstein files with every congressional tool they had. And keep in mind, Congress is loaded with some major tools.
Trump promised during the 2024 campaign that he’d release the Epstein files, then instead spent his first months in office trying to block it, calling it a “Democrat hoax.”
He only changed his mind at the last minute, when it was clear the bill would pass anyway.
For a moment on Tuesday, it looked like the Senate might amend the bill, and Colbert joked at just how much that could’ve complicated the situation.
