Jon Stewart Addresses Bombshell Epstein Emails: "You Know It's Real Because Trump's Allies Are Working Overtime To

Distract”

Jon Stewart opened tonight’s episode of The Daily Show with the latest development in the saga of, as he deemed it, “the very normal and not shady handling of the Epstein files.”

Jumping right in, as tackled by Saturday Night Live a couple of nights ago, Stewart addressed the particular email in which Jeffrey Epstein’s brother asked if Vladimir Putin had a picture of Donald Trump giving oral sex to someone named Bubba, which was an old nickname for Bill Clinton. Since then, Mark Epstein has clarified that the moniker was not in reference to the former president.

“Thank you for clearing that up,” Stewart quipped. “No further questions, your honor. Wait, uh, before I go, one last thing: Which Bubba was he blowing then? It’s not Bubba Gump — that’s a restaurant — and you can’t blow a restaurant. By the way, that’s not a challenge Mr. President.”

Contradicting Trump’s insistence that the Epstein files are uninteresting to the public, the political comedian embarked on a barrage of painstaking wordplay: “The little taste of that — no pun intended — did arouse — again, no pun intended — some curiosity about the rest of, if I may, the load (that one I meant).
