No matter what Donald Trump does, the Epstein story refuses to go away. The latest development is a series of emails released by the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee from convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's estate. One of these emails — reportedly sent by Epstein to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — makes a reference to the president in relation to a victim. "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is trump," it reads, per CNN. "[Victim] spent hours at my house with him."

Daily Show host Josh Johnson reacted to the release on Wednesday night's show, breaking down all the email exchanges that mention Trump, before offering the following, damning conclusion: "All I know is that every detail that comes out makes him look more and more suspicious."

"I'm an American living in America," says Johnson in the clip above. "And no matter what party you're in, or who you voted for, it would be better for all of us, as a general matter, if we do not have a sexual predator as president."
