WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah after he made jokes at the Grammy Awards about former President Bill Clinton and Trump spending time on Jeffrey Epstein’s island.
“Song of the Year – that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein’s island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton,” Noah said while hosting the event.
Trump responded by saying he would be “sending my lawyers to sue.”
“Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!” the president wrote on Truth Social. “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 continued to call Noah “a total loser” that “better get his facts straight.”
In the first round of the Epstein files released in December, there were photos of Clinton aboard Epstein’s private jet with a woman sitting on his lap and him lying in a hot tub with a woman.
The former president has long proclaimed his innocence of involvement in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring of underage girls, having cut ties with Epstein once his crimes became publicly known.
Trump acknowledged his presence in the Epstein files shortly after their release but insisted he had previously barred Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago property.
He added that many of the individuals captured in the photos “innocently met Jeffrey Epstein years ago” and are “highly respected bankers and lawyers,” emphasizing that his own inclusion in the files was not indicative of wrongdoing.
More than three million additional pages related to the investigation into Epstein were released by the Justice Department on Friday.
The files “include large quantities of commercial pornography and images that were seized from Epstein’s devices but which he did not take,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced.
The disgraced financier killed himself in a New York prison in August 2019 as he was waiting for a trial on sex trafficking charges of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
