Jimmy Kimmel riffed on Donald Trump‘s desire to see things named after himself, with his administration already having rebranded the U.S. Institute of Peace and the Kennedy Center, and the president trying to bargain for getting his moniker on Penn Station and Dulles Airport.
During his monologue on Wednesday, Kimmel said, “I have another suggestion for something we can name after him, and it’s big, and I think he’ll like it, because it’s something everyone’s talking about, something that he actually, unlike most everything else he wants named after him, deserves to be part of. And I believe, I propose that we should think about adding his name to the Epstein files.”
Kimmel then said that the Epstein files will “heretofore be known as the Trump-Epstein files.”
Trump is named in the files thousands of times, but he has denied wrongdoing and has said that he severed ties with Epstein in 2006.
Kimmel then went into Attorney General Pam Bondi‘s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, as she stonewalled members of Congress who questioned her on everything from the DOJ’s redactions to the files to whether they are investigating any other figures who are potentially implicated. Instead, she shouted at and insulted members of Congress, while telling them that their focus should be on the high stock market under Trump.
“She’s something,” Kimmel said. “This is the kind of woman who, if you live next door to her, you’d move. You wouldn’t even argue with her. You would just relocate and never go back to the block.”
He added, “She’s shouting like a crazed dance mom berating Democrats for giving her chubby little daughter a low score.”
