Did Trump Really Sign the Epstein Files Bill?

Late-night host Stephen Colbert raised eyebrows by questioning whether President Donald Trump truly signed a bill to release the Epstein files. He pointed out that the signing happened off-camera, fueling speculation about the authenticity of the action. Colbert humorously suggested that Trump might have used an autopen, a machine that replicates signatures, similar to former President Joe Biden, who has faced legal scrutiny over his use of this technology. He joked that Trump signs everything from executive orders to sneakers, implying a lack of seriousness in the process. The host also mocked Trump's Truth Social post about the bill, comparing it to the lengthy manifesto of Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. Colbert shared a snippet of Trump's post, where he claimed credit for the bill's passage, and quipped that it reminded him of Julius Caesar's last words, "Great job, Brute, " a jab at the president's survival of two assassination attempts. Colbert noted that the U. S. Department of Justice has 30 days to publish the Epstein files but expressed skepticism about whether the documents will ever see the light of day. He ended his segment with a sarcastic remark, suggesting that if viewers believe the files will be released, Trump has an East Wing to sell them. The episode highlighted the ongoing intrigue surrounding the Epstein files and the transparency of government actions, with Colbert using humor to critique the situation.
