On Wednesday Democrats released new, damning emails from Epstein’s estate which reportedly feature mentions of Donald Trump — and Stephen Colbert isn’t surprised at all.
In the Late Show clip above the host breaks down some of those emails, including one reportedly sent from Epstein to journalist Michael Wolff the year he died.
“In 2019, when Donald Trump was president, Epstein emailed Wolff, writing, ‘Of course [Trump] knew about the girls.'” said Colbert on Wednesday night’s show. “Of course he did! They were best pals, and underage girls was Epstein’s whole thing. ‘Yes, the Hamburgler was my best friend, but I always assumed he was getting the burgers legitimately.'”
Colbert goes on to talk about Republicans accusing Democrats of “cherry-picking” the emails they release, and releasing 20,000 pages of documents in response.
“That doesn’t prove anything!” says Colbert. “‘Your honor, to definitely prove his innocence, I would like to call to the stand all the people my client did not murder.'”
