Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammys

Trump threatens to sue Trevor Noah over Epstein joke at Grammys

US President Donald Trump has threatened to sue comedian Trevor Noah after he joked about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at the Grammy Awards.

Hosting the event, Noah said: "Song of the Year - that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because Epstein's island is gone, he needs a new one to hang out with Bill Clinton."

Trump is known to have been an associate of Epstein for years, but says he had no knowledge of his crimes and that they fell out in about 2004.

There are no suggestions he ever visited Epstein's private island and he has not been accused of any crime by Epstein's victims.

The US justice department has said allegations about him are unfounded and false.

In 2020, a spokesperson for Clinton said the former president had "never been" to Epstein's island, Little St James. Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing.

Trump responded to Noah's joke by saying he would be "sending his lawyers to sue".
