Try as he might, Donald Trump cannot escape from the Epstein story — and when he or anyone else tries to defend him, it only makes things worse.

"When asked yesterday about the release of the Epstein files at an event in Ohio, Vice President JD Vance said that President Trump has been 'incredibly transparent about that stuff,'" says Seth Meyers in the Late Night clip above. "And I agree: We can absolutely see right through him."

Meyers goes on to talk about Trump being asked whether or not he rushed to finish an EU trade deal as a way to get past the Epstein story at a press conference in Scotland.

"Oh yeah, I'm sure all the conspiracy theorists and MAGA will stop talking about Epstein now that there's a new trade deal," says Meyers. "'So you think Trump is on the list, or what?' 'Who cares? We can get cheaper sardines from Portugal!'"
