Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show have been talking about the growing Donald Trump/Jeffrey Epstein scandal all week — but if you need a recap on the many developments, Seth Meyers has you covered.
In the Late Night clip above the host goes through the big news of the week, from the Wall Street Journal reporting that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump he was in the so-called "Epstein files" back in May, to the Trump administration's failed attempts to divert attention to other stories.
"Whatever's in those 'Epstein files' must be really ***ing bad," says Meyers. "They must be finding so many mentions of Trump they're gonna have to change the name to 'The Trump Files Featuring Jeffrey Epstein.'"
The host goes on to play a clip of CNN anchors discussing the breaking WSJ story and how the context of Trump's name reportedly being in the files is important.
"Yes, the context matters!" says Meyers. "For example, maybe Jeffrey Epstein kept a list of innocent people who did nothing wrong. Epstein had a little black book full of names labeled, 'People Who Refused to Participate in Sex Trafficking But Still Want to Come to My Island for Snorkeling.'"
