President Donald Trump declared on Monday that he is going to sue Trevor Noah for claiming that he spent time on the island owned by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Noah said at the Grammy Awards on Sunday that Trump wants Greenland because he can no longer hang out with former President Bill Clinton at Epstein’s island. In a Truth Social post, Trump denied ever having spent time on the island and said he will sue Noah if he didn’t immediately “get his facts straight.”
“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!! I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media,” Trump said. “Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) released more than 3 million pages of files related to Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Trump signed into law in November. The release reveals that Epstein communicated with notable figures such as Elon Musk, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon and current Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Epstein also helped fund a lavish lifestyle for former Obama White House Counsel and current Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler between 2014 and 2019.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Friday that the agency is not going to “protect” Trump or anyone else as they release the files. The pages mentioned Trump’s name thousands of times, including by Epstein directly, though the majority appear to be mentions of Trump in news articles.
Trump filed a lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal in July for reporting that he wrote a birthday note to Epstein that included a drawing of a naked woman, saying he had never drawn anything like that in his life.
Victims of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring told NBC News in September that they had no knowledge or had heard any allegations of Trump committing any wrongdoing. Epstein’s former business partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, told Blanche in August that Trump had always been a “gentleman in all respects.”
Trump reportedly banished Epstein from Mar-a-Lago in 2003 after the sex offender pressured an 18-year-old spa worker for sex.
