SNL on Trump and the Epstein Files

Weekend Update with Michael Che and Colin Jost

As expected, Saturday Night Live didn't spare Donald Trump last night after the release of more Epstein Files mentioning the President. 

Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost said: 'House Democrats released an email written by Jeffrey Epstein in which he claims that Donald Trump "knew about the girls." It’s bombshell news that legal experts are calling "duh."'

He later described Trump as 'the Forrest Gump of meeting famous paedophiles'.

Jost and co-ancor Michael Che also made jokes about the US Mint ending production of one-cent coins, the irritating '6-7' trend among kids and DNA analysis showing Hitler had a genetic disorder that gave him a micropenis.

The Epstein Files were also the subject of the cold open, set in a White House press briefing: 

And again in a sketch in which Will Forte revived his MacGuyver spoof character MacGruber alongside Chloe Fineman and this week's guest host Glen Powell.
