Jimmy Kimmel mocked US President Donald Trump's reaction to the upcoming release of the Epstein files. "Trump is not having an easy time right now," he said in the latest episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Trump recently lashed out at reporters questioning him about the Epstein files, telling a female journalist, "Quiet, pig." Kimmel noted, "If a man in a workplace harassment training video spoke to a female colleague like that, people would say, 'Okay, that's too much.'" Trump recently hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who Kimmel said had given "the green light for the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi, a Washington Post columnist." Kimmel said Khashoggi had been "dismembered with a bone saw," allegedly on bin Salman's orders, "so of course Trump is pulling out all the stops for his billionaire friend." During bin Salman's visit, Trump scolded ABC reporter Mary Bruce for asking about the murder and told her not to "embarrass" his guest by inquiring about it. When Bruce then asked about Epstein, Trump called her a "terrible reporter" and threatened consequences for ABC's license, saying FCC Chairman Brendan Carr should "take care of it." Kimmel reminded viewers, "Last time your FCC guy looked into this, it didn't go so well for you" – a reference to his show's temporary suspension after pressure from Carr.
