Despite desperately wanting to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein, the president doesn’t seem to want to help himself when he’s asked questions relating to the sex offender and his accomplices.
During a recent press event in the White House to discuss his approval of a road in Alaska, the president was asked about whether or not he’d consider pardoning convicted sex trafficker and Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — to which he first said “who are we talking about?” before adding “I haven’t heard the name in so long.”
“I haven’t heard the name in so long?” says an exasperated Daily Show host Josh Johnson in the clip above. “She’s not asking you about the Baha Men. You’re over here being like, ‘Who, who, who, who?'”
Next, Johnson plays a clip of Trump responding to the pardoning question with “I’m gonna have to take a look at it.”
“Hey man,” says Johnson. “Maybe when you hear the words ‘child sex trafficking’, the next thing you say shouldn’t be ‘I’m gonna look at it.’ Alright?”
