Comedian Andrew Schulz criticized President Donald Trump‘s administration over the handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking case during his latest podcast episode.
Schulz, co-host of the “Flagrant” podcast, slammed Trump over the recent Justice Department memo that concluded that there was no evidence that Epstein had a “client list” or was murdered in his jail cell. Schulz, who supported Trump in the 2024 election, criticized the president over lashing out at a reporter during a Cabinet meeting for asking about the Epstein case.
After playing the clip from the Cabinet meeting, Schulz made a sarcastic quip about the exchange as he jabbed the president over the comments on Epstein.
“So we’re stupid. We’re the f—ing idiots, guys. Just to let you know, we’re wasting time,” Schulz said in a sarcastic clip shared to social media.
“I think what is enraging people right now is it’s insulting our intelligence. Like obviously the intelligence community is trying to cover it up. Obviously, the Trump administration is trying to cover up. Something changed because they ran on this idea of exposing it all,” he added.
Schulz then took aim at FBI Director Kash Patel, who repeatedly vowed to release the documents related to the Epstein case as the head of the nation’s top law enforcement agency. Patel went on the “Joe Rogan Experience” podcast last month, where Rogan pressed him on why he had not released the documents yet.
“He was ready to tear it all down. He was ready to tear down the entire FBI office,” Schulz said, speaking of Patel. “Then he goes on Joe Rogan and he’s like, ‘Listen, do you think if I had it, I wouldn’t share it with you?’ Yeah, I do. I do believe that 100%.”
The Department of Justice’s memo left MAGA supporters and far-right conspiracy theorists outraged, with many accusing Trump officials of engaging in a cover up about the documents related to the case. Many conservatives also criticized Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi over their response the reporter’s question about Epstein during Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting,
“Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years. You’re asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep, that is unbelievable,” Trump told the reporter.
A New York financier with ties to politicians and other famous and powerful people, Epstein was arrested in 2019 as he arrived in the U.S. from Paris aboard his private jet and charged with sexually abusing dozens of teenage girls during the early 2000s.
The case was brought more than a decade after a secret plea deal with federal prosecutors in Florida disposed of nearly identical allegations.
Weeks after his arrest, Epstein took his own life inside a high-security unit at a New York jail. Since then, Epstein’s crimes, high-profile connections and death have made him a subject of public fascination, intense media scrutiny and conspiracy theories.
