Seth Meyers Sounds Off On New Epstein Leaked Emails, Admits It's 'Pretty Damning' for Donald Trump

Seth Meyers isn't holding back his thoughts about Donald Trump's alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the wake of newly released emails from the disgraced financier that mention the president, Meyers aimed at Trump, suggesting that the revelations point to one clear conclusion. 

The White House has since pushed back against the claims, firmly denying any involvement between the 79-year-old and Epstein's activities.

On Wednesday’s episode of “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” the host referenced a broadcast in which the journalist said the recent emails “raise new questions about Trump's ties to Epstein.”

Meyers disputed that no fresh questions were raised; instead, it confirmed the suspicions. “To me, it sounds like they answer old questions,” Meyers quipped. “I'm no detective, but if one of the questions was, ‘Did Trump know about the girls?’ and you find an email from Jeffrey Epstein that says, ‘Trump knew about the girls,’ that sounds pretty damning.”

To drive his point home, the former “SNL” writer likened the situation to a murder investigation where police discover a shoebox labeled "murder weapon inside," along with a note identifying the crime. 

He added that when investigators later ask the suspect where they were at the time, and the suspect replies, "different places," as Trump once said in a Fox interview, "You'd be like, 'Chief, I think we got him!"

Meyers then joked about a part of the texts that likened the politician to a “dog that hasn't barked.” Mocking the president, Meyers said, “Of course, that was in 2011. Since then, all Trump has done is bark. Oh, Jeffrey, if only you'd lived to hear him bark! Honestly, he doesn't just bark — he growls. Look at him.”

Just hours before Meyers' on-air takedown, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published a series of private conversations between the convicted sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell, which allegedly indicated Trump's involvement in their trafficking activities.

According to The Blast, one message dated April 2, 2011, Epstein wrote that Trump had "spent hours at Epstein's house" with a minor. He added, "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump."

The exchange continued with Epstein noting, "(Redacted name) spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned. police chief. etc. I'm 75% there."

While the message directly named the president, it offered no specific details about his alleged interactions with the minor, nor did it identify the individual involved. Maxwell replied to the message, writing, "I have been thinking about that."

Further revelations published by the Oversight Committee included another set of Epstein's messages from January 2019, suggesting Trump was aware of his involvement with underage girls.

In a text exchange with journalist Michael Wolff, a known Trump critic, Epstein discussed his dismissal from the real estate mogul’s Mar-a-Lago Club.

"Trump said he asked me to resign," Epstein wrote in the text, adding, "never a member ever... of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop."

A representative of Epstein's estate confirmed the documents were produced in compliance with the committee's subpoena.

In response to the report, the White House has strongly denied the claims. In a statement that The Blast reported, press secretary Karoline Leavitt disclosed that the redacted name of the reported victim was Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's well-known accusers.

Leavitt emphasized that Giuffre herself had previously cleared the U.S leader of any wrongdoing or involvement with the deceased pedophile. 

She further dismissed the emails as "selectively leaked" and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of trying to "create a fake narrative to smear President Trump." 

Leavitt revisited why Trump had banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago years earlier, stating he showed inappropriate behavior toward female staff, including Giuffre.

She concluded by calling the story a "hoax" and a distraction from the administration's current achievements, arguing that the American public would see through what she described as a bad-faith political attack.

Meyers' criticism of Trump over the surfaced emails came as no surprise, given his long history of speaking out against him. Just weeks earlier on his show, the comedian had analyzed Trump's speech to U.S. troops in Japan about aircraft carrier catapults.

During the segment, Meyers mocked Trump's comments, joking that he “spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote,” per The Blast.

The commander-in-chief wasted no time firing back after watching the segment. He mocked Meyers' comedic ability, labeling him an “enemy” of his administration before claiming he was “the least talented live performer on television.” Trump extended his anger to NBC for “wasting time and money” keeping the presenter on air.
