Jon Stewart slams Trump’s hypocrisy over Epstein files release delay
Jon Stewart has criticised Donald Trump over his shifting stance on the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s files. The former Daily Show host accused Trump of hypocrisy, claiming the ex-president now pushes Republicans to support disclosure after previously blocking it. Stewart also mocked Trump’s recent attempts at political nicknames, calling them weak and unfunny.
During a segment on The Problem with Jon Stewart, the comedian targeted Trump’s inconsistency on the Epstein documents. He played a clip of Trump claiming a president could declassify files simply by thinking about it—a statement that clashes with his current inaction. Despite campaign promises and the legal power to release the files, Trump has yet to do so.
The Epstein files remain unreleased, despite Trump’s past promises and legal authority to declassify them. Stewart’s criticism highlights the contrast between Trump’s rhetoric and his actions. The Justice Department stands ready to publish the documents, but the final decision rests with the president.
