“Which, pay attention, I do know he’s completed numerous issues, unhealthy issues, however I don’t suppose Donald Trump ordered successful on Jeffrey Epstein. And the explanation I don’t suppose he ordered successful is as a result of if he did, he wouldn’t be capable to shut up about it,” Kimmel defined.
