Trump Threatens Lawsuit Over Epstein Joke; DHS to Equip Agents with Body Cameras
Former President Donald Trump threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah over a joke made during the Grammy Awards ceremony, while the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the deployment of body cameras to federal agents.
Trump took issue with a joke Noah made referencing the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "Noah said, incorrectly, about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. Wrong," Trump stated. He further added, "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." Trump called Noah a "total loser" and threatened legal action, saying, "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."
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that body-worn cameras would be issued to federal agents, beginning in Minneapolis. "Effective immediately we are deploying body cameras to every officer in the field in Minneapolis," Noem said in a post on X on Monday. According to Noem, the body camera program will be expanded nationwide as funding becomes available. "We will rapidly acquire and deploy body cameras to DHS law enforcement across the country," she added. Noem stated that she had spoken with White House border czar Tom Homan, who is overseeing federal immigration operations. The move follows pressure from Democrats and support from some Republicans amid ongoing scrutiny of the administration's immigration policies.
