Stephen Colbert may be getting canceled, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to slow down on his scorched earth coverage of Trump and Epstein. Quite the opposite, in fact.
In the clip above Colbert kicks off his Late Show monologue by discussing a Wall Street Journal report that claims Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump his name was in the Epstein files back in May.
“He’s in the files,” says Colbert. “You know how they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity? They’re not talking about this.”
Colbert goes on to mention some newly discovered photos published by CNN of Trump and Epstein from the ’90s and ’00s.
“That’s how tight these guys were. Their friendship outlasted Trump’s marriage to Marla Maples,” says Colbert, before launching into his Trump impression. “‘Till death do us part, Jeffrey. ‘Till mysterious, unexplained death.“
Colbert then moves on to the news that Trump will apparently be getting an extra $20 million from Skydance, the company planning to merge with his parent company Paramount, on top of the $16 million already being paid as part of a lawsuit settlement.
“That means by bending the knee, they lost like $40 million this year. They better watch out, they might get canceled. For purely financial reasons.”
