John Oliver Exposes Fox News’ Unhinged Jeffrey Epstein-Photoshopping Reaction to Trump FBI Raid

On Sunday night, John Oliver opened the latest version of Last week Tonight by solving — what else? — The FBI searched the residence of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club.

“As I’m sure you know, on Monday, the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago and seized documents — something Trump responded with characteristic restraint,” Oliver said.

Yes, Trump issued a diva-like statement, lamenting: “These are dark times for our Nation, for my beautiful home, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents,” with the country club owner adding, “They even broke into my safe! “

“No, not your safe! Yes, great, the FBI even checks your locked safe when they walk past your house with a search warrant,” Oliver suggested.

“The search appears to be rooted in classified and sensitive documents that Trump apparently took from the White House when he left office — with some believed to contain information related to nuclear weapons. And I’m not going to speculate or jump to conclusions here because there’s still a lot we don’t know.”

As Oliver noted, that hasn’t stopped Republicans and their right-wing media apparatus from speculating wildly about the raid, culminating in Fox News taking pictures of the judge signing the office. Detectives uploaded an image of Jeffrey Epstein being scrubbed by Ghislaine on a private jet.

The comic then warned, “I wouldn’t be quick to suggest that America’s most cautious AG in a while would have taken the unprecedented step of sending the FBI to a former president’s home if he didn’t think that would be the case. that is really necessary.”
