US President Donald Trump has issued a scathing threat against comedian Trevor Noah, warning that he plans to sue him over a joke made at his expense during the upcoming Grammys. The joke, which was widely shared on social media, had mocked Trump's alleged ties with deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a Truth Social post, Trump lashed out at Noah, calling him "talentless" and saying that his joke was a "defamatory statement." However, in an astonishing admission, the president claimed to have never visited Epstein Island, despite numerous reports suggesting he had. Trump wrote: "I'll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Get ready Noah, I'm going to have some fun with you!"
The threat comes after a massive release of Epstein case files by the Department of Justice, which included conversations about Trump. The documents showed thousands of references to the president, fueling speculation that he had been in contact with Epstein.
Epstein's death in 2019 sparked widespread media scrutiny, and it has since emerged that several high-profile figures, including Trump and Bill Clinton, had connections to the financier. However, Trump's denial of any ties to Epstein's island is raising eyebrows among many observers.
