The Daily Show mocks Trumps response to the Epstein client list
After talk of potentially releasing a Jeffrey Epstein "client list" back in February, the Department of Justice announced in a memo on Monday that no such list exists and nobody else will be charged.
In the Daily Show monologue above, host Ronny Chieng plays an awkward clip from Donald Trump's recent cabinet meeting in which the president gets angry at a question from a reporter about Epstein, asking, "Are people still talking about this guy?"
"Yeah, why are you guys obsessed with the suspicious death of my best friend in a federal prison when I was president, right before he was going to be on trial for sex trafficking?" responds Chieng. "It's so boring."
Chieng goes on to say that Trump isn't going to use up his precious cabinet meeting time "talking about someone from years and years ago" — before playing a supercut of Trump waffling about various past presidents and historical figures in the exact same meeting.
