Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update ran through some of the most damaging emails that came to light this week about Donald Trump and dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
One such email from Epstein claims that Trump “knew about the girls.”
“It’s bombshell news that legal experts are calling ‘duh!’” Colin Jost joked.
“This week’s Epstein documents are obviously very dark and disturbing, but I also think it’s kind of adorable that Epstein’s email address was ‘jeevacation@gmail,’” Jost continued. “It’s like if Jeffrey Dahmer’s was ‘dinnertimejeff@yahoo!’”
Co-anchor Michael Che addressed another email in which Epstein’s brother asked him “if Putin has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba?” One old nickname for Bill Clinton, Che noted, was “Bubba.”
“So I guess that’s one job Trump has created,” Che joked.
“I don’t know if that oral sex story is true, but I do know that image is burned in my brain like that scene from The Shining,” Che continued, as that bizarre shot from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror film was shown on screen with Trump’s and Clinton’s faces superimposed.

Che turned to yet another email, this one showing Epstein saying was able to “take Trump down.”
“Pretty big talk for a guy who lost to a bedsheet,” Che joked. Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York City jail cell after his arrest for sex trafficking was ruled a suicide, though conspiracies about it persist, in part due to the information that the Trump administration has—and has not—released.
“In general, I don’t believe in conspiracies, because as a member of the illuminati, I know that we, the lizard people, control everything,” Jost joked. “And it’s really hard to believe that Trump was so oblivious that he didn’t notice his good friend was running an international pedophile ring. Though I guess Trump is the one guy on earth who thinks “YMCA” is a straight anthem.”
“And on a basic level, it’s just shocking how many alleged pedophiles Trump was friends with: Epstein, Prince Andrew, and Diddy. I mean, that’s a lot, you know?” he went on. “Think about your own friend group. How many pedophiles do you know? One, maybe two? But Trump’s like the Forrest Gump of meeting famous pedophiles.”
