Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel recently criticized the Trump administration for mishandling the release of crucial documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. On a recent episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Kimmel highlighted the announcement made by Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the release of Epstein’s client list and flight logs. However, the documents were not released as promised, with Kimmel expressing frustration at the administration’s actions.
Kimmel pointed out that instead of releasing the information to mainstream media outlets, the Trump administration chose to provide the documents to right-wing influencers like Liz Wheeler. Wheeler, in turn, claimed that the real information was being suppressed by the "deep state agents." Kimmel sarcastically responded to this claim, highlighting the delays in document release and the administration’s handling of the situation.
Drawing attention to the friendship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, Kimmel referenced a New York Magazine article where Trump praised Epstein as a "terrific guy" with a penchant for "beautiful women… on the younger side." Additionally, Kimmel recounted a story from a 2019 New York Times article that detailed a "calendar girl competition" hosted by Trump and Epstein at Mar-A-Lago, attended by 28 women and the two men.
The late-night host emphasized the close relationship between Trump and Epstein, shedding light on their past interactions and events they organized together. Kimmel’s commentary highlighted the inconsistencies in the administration’s handling of sensitive information and its ties to individuals like Epstein.
