Late Night host Seth Meyers has targeted President Donald Trump's continued insistence that the Epstein scandal is a "hoax," noting that the situation doesn't look great for the U.S. commander-in-chief.
"The dude is absolutely spooked about this Epstein stuff in a way I've never seen before," said Meyers.
Trump has received substantial criticism from followers for failing to release convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's client list. Despite previous promises that he would publish the list, Trump is now urging people to move on from Epstein and stop asking about it. This seems unlikely to happen, with a bipartisan bill calling for the release of the Epstein files on the verge of gathering enough votes to bring it to a floor vote.
The Trump administration has labelled support for the bill a "hostile act," a stance Meyers considered damning.
"[This] seems like an obvious admission that Trump is implicated," said Meyers. "Like, why else would it be a hostile act? If my wife asked to see the For You page on my Instagram account because she was curious how different my algorithm was from hers, and I said, 'that's a hostile act,' she's gonna immediately assume there's some tasty babes on that For You page."
