Trump responded to Noah’s joke by saying he would be “sending my lawyers to sue”. <\/p>\n
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!<\/p>\n
“I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.<\/p>\n
“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.”<\/p>\n
He added: “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”<\/p>\n
Epstein was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, more than a decade after he was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor.<\/p>\n
He had purchased his private island in 1998. Multiple survivors have alleged that they were trafficked there and abused. <\/p>\n
Trump has engaged in legal action with multiple media organisations in recent years, including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n
In December, he filed a multi-billion dollar lawsuit in a Florida court accusing the BBC of defamation and of violating a trade practices law over the editing of a Panorama programme.<\/p>\n
