Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Grammy's Epstein Joke; Lemon Claims DOJ Targeted Him
Donald Trump threatened to sue Trevor Noah, the host of the 68th Grammy Awards, over a joke referencing Jeffrey Epstein, while Don Lemon claimed the Department of Justice (DOJ) intended to "instill fear" and "embarrass" him with his recent arrest. The Grammy Awards also featured several celebrities taking a stand against the Trump Administration's immigration policies.
Trump expressed his anger over Noah's joke, which incorrectly linked him to Epstein. "Noah said, incorrectly, about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island," Trump stated. "Wrong. I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media." He further added, "Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like 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."
The Grammy Awards ceremony was marked by political statements, with numerous celebrities using the platform to criticize President Trump and his administration, particularly regarding immigration policies.
Meanwhile, Don Lemon, during an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," discussed his recent arrest. Lemon claimed the DOJ's actions were designed to "instill fear" and "embarrass" him. "That’s why they did it that way," Lemon said, recalling the moments leading up to his arrest in Los Angeles on Thursday night.
Separately, the Justice Department released approximately 3 million new documents related to Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, according to Vox. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the update at a news conference in Washington, D.C.
