Trump's Unease in the Spotlight Over the Epstein Saga Apparent to Seth Meyers

In the latest episode of "Late Night," host Seth Meyers delved into the ongoing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and his connections to high-profile figures, including President Donald Trump.

Meyers began by poking fun at the size of a frame, a jest that was a playful reference to a school picture frame, not the one allegedly containing an 8x10 photo of Trump and Epstein. The photo, as claimed by Chauntae Davies, a victim of Epstein, was reportedly on Epstein's desk.

The comedian then turned his attention to Trump's apparent unease over bipartisan efforts to release Epstein-related files. Meyers noted Trump's seeming fear and potential spooked behavior regarding the Epstein matter. Trump has previously dismissed the Epstein saga as a "Democrat hoax" and "total bullshit."

The White House views congressional Republicans joining efforts to release the Epstein files as a "very hostile act." However, Trump has faced questions about his health in recent weeks, and the potential release of these files could further scrutinise his relationship with Epstein.

Meyers also touched upon the role of former attorney general Pam Bondi in the Epstein case. According to reports, Bondi told President Trump about an anonymous FBI source informing her that thousands of Epstein-related documents had been withheld from her office. While there is no specific name publicly revealed in the Epstein files that Bondi reported directly to Trump, Meyers claimed Trump is scared of releasing the files because Attorney General Bondi reportedly briefed the president that his name is in them.

The episode concluded with a link to view more of Meyers' Wednesday monologue on "Late Night." As always, Meyers' humour provided a satirical take on current events, offering viewers a light-hearted yet insightful perspective on the Epstein-Trump saga.
