U.S. lawmakers have reviewed unredacted versions of the Justice Department’s files on convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and while Donald Trump’s name has already appeared in the Epstein files, the actual mention count is reportedly…a lot more. Rep. Jamie Raskin told Axios he searched the president’s name in the newly unredacted files, and said it came up “more than a million times.”
The Daily Show host Jordan Klepper host reacted to Raskin’s claim during Tuesday night’s show.
“Holy shit, a million times!? There’s not even that many references to Hamlet in the play Hamlet,” Klepper said.
“Now, maybe Raskin is just being hyperbolic, but if this is true, wouldn’t it just be easier to call this the Trump files featuring Jeffrey Epstein?” he continued. “Just think about the effort it took Trump’s Justice Department to redact his name that many times. It’s like trying to remove the pee from the water park. At this point, you just need to accept that it’s in there and try not to think about it.”
