Trump to Sue Comic Trevor Noah Over Epstein Island Joke at Grammys

In a recent outburst, former President Donald Trump announced plans to sue comedian Trevor Noah. This reaction followed a joke Noah made during the Grammy Awards regarding Trump and former President Bill Clinton allegedly visiting Epstein Island.

Trump’s Response to Trevor Noah’s Joke

Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to label Noah as a “poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C.” He insisted that Noah’s statement was “INCORRECT” and emphatically denied ever visiting Epstein Island. Trump stated, “I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close.”

Legal Actions Imminent

In his social media post, Trump declared he would enlist lawyers to pursue a lawsuit against Noah, saying, “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!” However, he did not mention potential legal actions against CBS Television Network or Paramount+, the broadcasters of the Grammy Awards.

Background on the Epstein Allegations

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing concerning allegations related to Jeffrey Epstein. No credible evidence has indicated his involvement with Epstein’s notorious island or trafficking activities. The former president also noted a past friendship with Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s, stating they had a falling out years ago.

Future of the Grammy Awards

The Grammy Awards are set to shift to ABC in 2027. This transition may change the dynamics of future broadcasts and the content featured during the ceremonies.
