Former President Trump vehemently condemned Grammy host Trevor Noah, escalating a dispute over accusations made during the awards ceremony. He directly threatened legal action, asserting Noah falsely linked him to Jeffrey Epstein and a network of alleged misconduct.
The conflict ignited after Noah’s monologue at the Grammys referenced Trump and Epstein, prompting an immediate rebuke from the former president. Trump characterized the entire ceremony as “terrible” and “not watchable,” singling out Noah as a “lousy host” and a “lightweight.”
Trump insisted he had no involvement with Epstein, pointing to Justice Department releases of documents that, he claims, exonerate him. He suggested the focus on Epstein is now backfiring on Democrats, revealing their own connections to the disgraced financier.
Beyond Noah, Trump broadened his accusations, naming Bill Clinton and Bill Gates as individuals deeply implicated in Epstein’s activities. He also targeted writer Michael Wolff, alleging a conspiracy to harm his 2016 presidential campaign through blackmail facilitated by Epstein.
According to Trump, newly released emails demonstrate Wolff actively encouraged Epstein to pursue damaging information about him during the election cycle. He framed this as a deliberate attempt by Democrats to undermine his candidacy, a plan that ultimately failed.
Trump expressed frustration over the extensive time and resources dedicated to investigating Epstein, particularly given what he believes is a lack of evidence linking him to any wrongdoing. He suggested the investigation is primarily exposing the involvement of others, specifically Democrats.
He recalled a time when Epstein’s activities were largely ignored, contrasting it with the current scrutiny. Trump believes the renewed attention is now proving detrimental to those previously associated with Epstein, particularly Bill Clinton.
The former president characterized the situation as a political maneuver gone awry, stating that Democrats attempted to leverage the Epstein scandal to defeat him, but their efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful. He emphasized the irony of their strategy backfiring.
Trump reiterated his intention to pursue legal action against Noah, framing the host’s comments as demonstrably false and damaging. He maintained his complete separation from Epstein and his network, asserting his innocence in the matter.
