Late-night pundits decry Epstein file dump as elites dodge accountability

Late-night hosts reacted to the latest Epstein file dump, denouncing incomplete redactions and slow releases while arguing that powerful figures—Trump, Prince Andrew and others—continue to dodge accountability. Jon Stewart slammed the lack of consequences for those named; Jimmy Kimmel pointed out victims’ names largely remain unredacted; Stephen Colbert highlighted the sheer volume of references to Trump and other elites; Seth Meyers and colleagues framed the material as evidence of a two-tier system where wealth and power shield the powerful from justice. The roundup portrays elite impunity amid political theater and continued White House denials.
