Jimmy Kimmel reveals shock that the rumor about Trump’s ties to Epstein has not moved the needle in the election

On By Littum

Jimmy Kimmel has revealed his shock that recent allegations about Donald Trump’s relationship with late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have not “moved the needle” in the election.

In a final pitch to viewers on Monday night Jimmy Kimmel live, the host was referring to allegations that have just emerged about Trump’s former friendship with the late billionaire pedophile.

Journalist Michael Wolff released an audio clip four days before the end of the presidential campaign on his podcast Fire and fury of what he says is Epstein talking in intimate detail about the inner workings of Trump’s cabinet.

“I still don’t understand how this race is close,” Kimmel said in exasperation.

“We heard a bombshell tape where Jeffrey Epstein says he was Trump’s closest friend and shares a bunch of crazy stories, this hardly moves the needle.

“We just got a hundred hours of Jeffrey Epstein saying he and Trump were BFFs, I didn’t even get an alert on my phone about that,” Kimmel said.

“Epstein said Trump told him he likes to have sex with his best friends’ wives to the point where Epstein described Trump as having no moral compass,” Kimmel continued.

“Do you know what kind of lowlife you have to be for Jeffrey Epstein to say you have no morals (compass)? It’s like if R Kelly got mad at you for leaving the toilet seat up.”

Recordings obtained by The Daily Beast allegedly contain Epstein’s damning assessment of Trump.

“The moral compass just doesn’t exist,” he told Wolff.

In his final takedown of Trump before America goes to the polls today, Kimmel also referenced one Fox News interview from June, when Trump was asked if he would declassify the Epstein files.

Trump didn’t hesitate when asked if he would declassify the 9/11 files or the JFK files, but when it came to Epstein, he paused briefly, saying, “I think I would, but I think I less because you do’ I don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s fake stuff in there.”

“Good, better to keep them locked up in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago,” Kimmel said, referring to Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents when he left the White House.

Responds to The Daily Beast‘s reporting in the audio clip shared by Trump, Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for Trump’s 2024 election campaign, said: “Michael Wolff is a disgraced author who routinely makes up lies to sell fiction because he clearly has no morals or ethics.

“He waited until days before the election to make outlandish fake smears, all in an attempt to engage in blatant election interference on behalf of Kamala Harris.

“He is a failed journalist who resorts to lying to get attention.”
