US EditionMaher trolls Trump after Epstein file dump: ‘I feel like I’ve seen this movie four times’
Bill Maher criticized lawmakers for prioritizing Jeffrey Epstein emails after a 43-day shutdown and noted Trump's name appears 1,500 times in the released documents.
- On Friday, Bill Maher used his opening monologue on Real Time With Bill Maher to bluntly critique President Donald Trump’s Epstein diversion, calling it `using the Epstein files to distract from the Epstein files`.
- Following the Nov. 12 disclosures, House Democrats released new Epstein communications, including messages from Epstein alleging Trump `spent hours at my house` with a victim.
- Maher highlighted specific messages and jibes, noting Trump’s name appears repeatedly in the emails and quipped `Trump doesn’t talk about Trump that much`, while suggesting Trump should have been more careful destroying evidence and referencing his request for the Department of Justice to investigate Bill Clinton.
- Amid denials, President Donald Trump has repeatedly denied knowing about Epstein’s sex trafficking and urged the Department of Justice to investigate other politicians, Maher noted.
- Maher framed the segment with a joke about returning to government business by reading a dead pervert’s emails, as Real Time With Bill Maher airs Fridays at 10/9c and he spent most of his opening on Epstein emails and the shutdown's end.

‘I want this’: Dem donor targeted by Trump calls his bluff over Epstein files
President Donald Trump’s initial response to the latest batch of emails from deceased child predator Jeffrey Epstein has been to call for the investigations of Democrats who have been linked to Epstein. But one of the people Trump explicitly mentioned is now firing back. In a series of posts to his official X account, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman — a prominent Democratic donor with a net worth of roughly $2.5 billion — responded to Trump’s c…
Bill Maher Calls Out Politicians for Focusing on a 'Dead Pervert's Emails': 'We're Doing This Again?'
Bill Maher ripped into Republican and Democratic leaders for wasting their time and energy on a “dead pervert’s emails” after reopening the government. The comedian was, of course, referring to the Jeffrey Epstein emails, which were released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this week — and seemed to suggest President Donald Trump “knew about the girls” tied to the late financier’s sex trafficking ring. Despite this headline-making tidbit…
