Jon Stewart laid into Donald Trump after the latter tried to downplay the Jeffrey Epstein emails as “boring stuff.”
Throughout Monday’s monologue for “The Each day Present,” the comic addressed the continued saga, together with one viral e-mail change between the late Epstein and his brother, Mark.
“On the premiere of season eight of the Epstein recordsdata, previous emails proceed to resurface,” Stewart famous, “sparking renewed curiosity, due to exchanges like this one, which actually encapsulates the completely astonishing nature of this whole affair.”
The e-mail in-question confirmed Mark telling his brother to ask former White Home chief strategist Steve Bannon, “If Putin has the photographs of Trump blowing Bubba?”
Stewart then quipped that this transient e-mail was “wealthy textual content” that may safe literary students “tenure off the evaluation of this textual content.” He then identified that the story received much more wild when Epstein’s brother spoke out and clarified that the reference of “Bubba” was not with reference to former president Invoice Clinton.
“Thanks for clearing that up. No additional questions, your honor. Boy, earlier than I’m going, one final thing, which Bubba was he blowing then?” Stewart continued. “It’s not Bubba Gump. That’s a restaurant. And you may’t blow a restaurant. By the way in which, that’s not a problem, Mr. President.”
But, regardless of these eyebrow-raising disclosures, Trump tried to downplay the information by calling it “fairly boring stuff.”
At this level, Stewart ripped into the president.
“Did you see the blowing e-mail? It’s sort of attention-grabbing,” Stewart quipped. “I imply, the little style of that — no pun meant —did arouse, once more, no pun meant, some curiosity about the remainder of, if I could, the load. That one I meant.”
Nonetheless, Trump has since modified his tune, encouraging Home Republicans to vote in favor of the discharge of the Epstein recordsdata as they’ve “nothing to cover.”
Stewart was skeptical of this, as he talked about Trump may’ve “declassified and launched these recordsdata himself at any time.”
