Stephen Colbert Wipes 'Turd In A Tie' Trump Over 'Worst Scandal In Presidential History'
HuffPost
The "Late Show" host called out the president over the latest reports related to the Epstein files.
President Donald Trump this week delivered the longest-ever State of the Union speech, but “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said on Wednesday that he still managed to miss a topic.
“One thing Trump did not mention in his two-hour, hockey-humping, immigrant-grumbling jambaroo was anything about the Epstein files,” he said, referring to the files related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was once close friends with Trump.
The Trump administration came into office promising to release the files, only to stonewall instead ― and when Congress passed a law forcing the release of the files, the administration was caught holding back files and adding unnecessary redactions.
“It is well-known that big, incriminating stuff has been redacted from what Pam Bondi released,” Colbert said. “And yesterday, we got confirmation that the DOJ has withheld or taken down more than 50 pages of material from the Epstein files related to Donald Trump.”
Colbert pointed to a New York Times report detailing how the Justice Department withheld what the newspaper described as “key materials,” including FBI memos on interviews with a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Trump and Epstein when she was a minor.
