Saturday Night Live opened with Donald Trump (James Austin Johnson) trying his best to deflect from Jeffrey Epstein, as the focus has turned on a vote next week to compel the release of Justice Department files on the convicted sexual predator.
Johnson’s Trump appeared in the White House briefing room as reporters pressed him on the emails released this week, as well as why he’s trying his best to block the release of investigative files.
One reporter asks, “Even Trump’s biggest supporters think that he should release the Epstein files. What does Trump have to hide?”
Trump responds, “I am hiding almost nothing, just enough to make it extremely suspicious. But let me ask you a question. If there was something incriminating about me in the files, then why would I cover them up?”
A reporter responds, “Isn’t that exactly why you would cover them up?”
Trump responds, “OK, they me go again. If I was innocent, wouldn’t I just release all the files?”
Then the reporter says, “Yes. again, I think you’re agreeing with what everyone is saying.”
Trump then tried again. “Third times’s a charm. Jeffrey Epstein. I barely knew the guy, as evidenced by the 1000s of pictures of us together, dancing and grinding our teeth at various parties, always leering and pointing at something just off camera — probably a book we’re excited to read.”
