As President Trump continues to call anything related to Jeffrey Epstein’s files a hoax — despite promising in his 2024 campaign to release said files — the White House is now calling it a “hostile act” for any politicians advocating for their release. And for Seth Meyers, that’s the most “obvious admission” that Trump is in them.
During his “A Closer Look” segment on Wednesday night, the NBC host called out the administration for making an official statement that called it a “hostile act” for any Republicans to sign the discharge petition designed to force the release of the files. Apparently, Trump allies on the Hill have been whipping the vote and sending texts pressuring people about it.
“That’s right, the Trump White House called it a ‘hostile act’ to support a bill to release the Epstein files, which seems like an obvious admission that Trump is implicated,” Meyers said.
“Like, why else would it be a hostile act?” he continued. “If my wife asked to see the ‘For You’ page on my Instagram account because she was curious how different my algorithm was from hers, and I said, ‘That’s a hostile act,’ she’s going to immediately assume there’s some tasty babes on that ‘For You’ page.”
Elsewhere in the segment, Meyers once again delighted in just how panicked Trump seems to be over the continued pressure about the Epstein files. The NBC host played several clips of Trump insisting that the files are a “Democrat hoax” and not to be focused on.
“I’ll say this about Trump. He’s not big and strong, but he definitely sounds like he’s about to cry,” Meyers mocked. “The dude is absolutely spooked about this Epstein stuff, in a way I’ve never seen before. Well, I mean, he looked spooked the other day leaving the White House.”

Trump Melts Down Over New ‘Rumor’ That NBC Extended Seth Meyers’ Contract — More Than a Year After It Happened
Andi Ortiz, August 27, 2025
The comedian extended his NBC hosting gig for another four years back in May of 2024
Donald Trump is complaining once more about late night television hosts, and this time he’s targeting Seth Meyers. In a middle-of-the-night Truth Social rant, the president worried about a “rumor” that Meyers’ contract was renewed at NBC — which is something that happened more than a year ago.
“There is a sick rumor going around that Fake News NBC extended the contract of one of the least talented Late Night television hosts out there, Seth Meyers,” Trump wrote. “He has no Ratings, Talent, or Intelligence, and the Personality of an insecure child. So, why would Fake News NBC extend this dope’s contract. I don’t know, but I’ll definitely be finding out!!!”
A representative for NBC and “Late Night” declined to comment on Trump’s rant.
