US President Donald Trump hit out at Trevor Noah over a joke about Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein at the 2026 Grammys on Sunday (February 1).
“I think he’s terrible. I think he did a terrible job at the Grammys,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting on Monday (February 2).
In a social media post, Trump earlier threatened to sue Noah.
The US Justice Department on Friday (January 30) published millions of new files related to Epstein, including emails that showed Howard Lutnick, President Donald Trump’s commerce secretary, apparently visited Epstein’s private island for lunch years after he claimed to have cut off ties.
Trump has denied any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes. But the scandal has dogged him for months, in part because he promised to release the files during his 2024 presidential campaign, then reneged after taking office.
The newly published files included hundreds of documents that mention Trump, many of which were collections of media reports.
