Bill Maher thinks Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide note sounds like Trump
On Friday night, just minutes after the New York Knicks wiped the floor with the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA Playoffs, Bill Maher kicked off his latest “Real Time” monologue by wading into the murky waters of Blake Lively versus Justin Baldoni.
Yes, just before the case was set to go to trial, the two sworn enemies reached a settlement in their lengthy legal battle over the making of the woeful hit “It Ends with Us,” with Lively accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment and Baldoni responding with claims of defamation. No money was exchanged, but Lively can still go after Baldoni for her significant attorney fees.
“I know why you’re happy,” Maher exclaimed at the start of his HBO show. “Great news. Peace at last. We have an agreement. A deal. A peace deal – not the war in Iran, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. That’s what I’m talking about.”
“Oh, man. We’ve been reading about this for a year,” he continued. ‘All that arguing and suing, and it turns out: no settlement money at all. And there’s a movie everywhere called ‘It Ends with Us’ that everyone hated? Have you seen that movie? It was more difficult to get through than through the Strait of Hormuz.”
Ba-dum-tsh!
The comedian also addressed the news of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged suicide letter, which was released by a federal judge this week. The note – which has not been verified – was believed to have been written in July 2019, a few weeks before Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. Epstein’s alleged note ends with the line: “What do you want me to do – start crying!!” – a bizarre nod to ‘The Little Rascals’.
“Speaking of murder, apparently they found Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide note,” Maher said. “Apparently it was from the man – his cellmate – who Epstein says tried to kill him, but he’s the man who found the note. And it says, ‘They investigated me’ – and then it says in all caps, ‘NOTHING FOUND!!!’ Who does that sound like? I can’t quite place it…
Maher clearly suggested that the note sounds very much like one of Epstein’s closest friends, President Donald Trump.
The comic then cracked: “No, I’m not suspicious, but the note is do end with: ‘Thank you for your attention to this matter!’”
