Trey Parker made the comment after he was asked if he anticipated the reaction to the episode, which resulted in a damning statement by the White House.

The president reposted a tweet in 2019 that suggested Bill and Hillary Clinton were involved in Epstein’s death. Trump has for years suggested that shadowy Democratic elites are part of a “deep state” working to undermine him, which has proven to be red meat for his base.

Trump had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all pertinent" grand jury documents as pressure continues to mount on the administration over Epstein.

The House is leaving Washington early as Republicans clash over the Jeffrey Epstein files. House Speaker Mike Johnson is rebuffing pressure to act on the investigation into Epstein as some Republicans push for a vote on the matter.
