Jon Stewart Rips Into Trump for Downplaying Epstein Files Drama

Jon Stewart criticized Trump for blocking Jeffrey Epstein file releases despite campaign promises, noting Trump reversed stance amid mounting House pressure and claims of having nothing to hide.

  • On Monday, Jon Stewart used The Daily Show to sharply criticize President Donald Trump for downplaying the Epstein email disclosures, saying Trump appeared to be 'flailing' and dismissive.
  • The House Oversight Committee released thousands of pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein, while Trump, who promised to release Epstein material, spent months opposing public disclosure, Stewart noted.
  • A viral email shows Mark Epstein asking if `Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba`, and Stewart then aired Trump saying, `if you’re the president of the United States, you can declassify just by saying it’s declassified`.
  • Trump reversed course over the weekend, urging House Republicans to support the bill to release the Epstein files and said he would sign it if passed, days after instructing Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Democrats.
  • Stewart urged broader investigations into Epstein-related contacts, including President Donald Trump, while Tuesday's House of Representatives vote could force the Justice Department to release case files.
