American talk show host Jimmy Kimmel didn’t hold back in his latest late-night sketch targeting former President Donald Trump.
On Friday night (February 13), the 58-year-old host returned to his show and kicked off with a monologue about current events. Inevitably, the topic turned to Trump, as Kimmel addressed the fallout from the ongoing investigation into the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Recent disclosures from the Department of Justice have stirred controversy in both the U.S. and the U.K., with figures like former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson facing criticism, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer under pressure for appointing the 72-year-old diplomat despite his links to Epstein.
Kimmel wasted no time taking aim at Trump during his opening monologue. He quipped:
“As you know, there are 535 members of Congress.
Do you know how many computers the Department of Justice set up to let them look through the three million pages of Trump-Epstein files? Four. There are four computers for all of them to share.
I called the Burbank library today; they have 22 computers, but the Trump-Epstein files have four. Pam Bondi has spent more time investigating the people reading the Epstein files than the people actually in the Trump-Epstein files.”
The audience erupted in laughter, and the segment quickly became a trending topic online. Social media users were quick to share their reactions. One wrote:
“In light of how often Trump appears in the Epstein files, Jimmy Kimmel might as well rename them the Trump-Epstein files. Wow.”
Another added:
“Since Trump is mentioned more than a million times in the unredacted files, shouldn’t they just be called the Trump files?”
A third commented:
“He was MENTIONED! That’s all we know! But we have to say it as many times as possible, even though he was the one who exposed Epstein!”
Kimmel’s humor, as always, drew attention while sparking debate over Trump’s involvement in the Epstein saga.
