Charlemagne calls Bill Clinton ‘huge’ over Trump Epstein reaction

Podcaster Charlamagne Tha God blasted former President Bill Clinton as Tuesday’s “ass of the day,” saying Clinton was strategically finessed when asked if President Donald Trump should be asked about Jeffrey Epstein.

Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton were both Questions asked in the witness Last week for their knowledge of the dead sex trafficker and financier Jeffrey Epstein. Asked if Trump should testify in a similar manner, Bill Clinton replied, “That’s for you to decide, but he knew him well and I had a brief discussion with him once.”

He went on to say, “I hate it because I don’t believe I should inject anything, but I don’t want to leave an impression. But because there’s no follow-up question, he’s never — never the president, this was 20 years ago, never said anything to me that would make me think he was involved in anything improper with Epstein.”

His wife, Hillary Clinton, is a writer. Cited a civil case involving Jean Carroll in which Trump was found civilly liable for defamation of Carroll for allegedly sexually assaulting her. 34-Count Criminal Judgment A court in New York City related to allegations that he tried to conceal payments to adult film star Stormi Daniels. Trump has denied any wrongdoing in either case.

Hillary Clinton also said that Trump should be “absolutely” impeached, adding, “I’m not saying you’re going to get a lot of information, but given what’s in the files and past and past conduct, he’s going to be on my witness list.”

Charlemagne, speaking on his radio show, linked the Clintons to them A very different testimony.

“Hillary answered. Well, that’s the real answer,” he said podcast. “What Bill Clinton did was cowardly. Well, ‘that’s for you to decide.’ Sure, Bill. You are correct. That is to be determined. But could you at least explain why you think they should be?

“Yes, President Trump will have to testify before a House committee for all the reasons Hillary just laid out, not to mention the number of times his name is mentioned in the files and because it was revealed that the DOJ withheld the Epstein files mentioning Trump.”

Charlamagne later added, “They’re just trying to get information. Well, I said they’re just trying to get more information. So, it’s cowardly for Bill to make a decision in his hands.”

He further argued that Bill Clinton had his own motivation to tell Trump whether he would face questioning in formal testimony.

“Meanwhile, President Trump’s files mention somebody who is a real friend of his, you know, in front of the Republicans? Yes! Who supports him? You can’t say, ‘Yes, he has to testify and here are his reasons,'” Charlemagne said. “I think it’s hard to do that when you’re so concerned about making sure your own dirt gets swept under the rug.”

Charlamagne later argued, “When politicians start answering a yes or no question as if it were an essay prompt, the real answer is either a) politically inconvenient or b) they’re trying to save themselves A– and don’t want to throw the current president under the bus because they know he’s crazy enough to arrest them.”

Charlamagne simultaneously criticized Bill Clinton for wanting to put all the information out there but also refusing to call Trump to testify.

“As George Carlin said, ‘It’s a big club and we’re not in it.’ ok?” said the host. “If you believe in accountability, it shouldn’t depend on whose jersey the person is wearing, and at this point, President Clinton and President Trump are wearing the same jersey.

“This is where President Clinton is creating some obstacles for President Trump. Because when a former president starts to think about fundamental questions about the current president’s testimony, it’s not neutrality. It’s elite solidarity.”

A Clinton spokeswoman disputed Charlamagne’s argument when reached by Fox News Digital.

“Perhaps Charlamagne tha Deva did not see the entire statement, but President Clinton did in fact make specific recommendations,” the spokesman said.

Fox News Digital is awaiting a response on what those specific recommendations were.

Fox News Digital also reached out to the White House, which emphasized that President Trump has been cleared of any wrongdoing related to Epstein.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “As President Trump has said, he has been completely exonerated of anything to do with Epstein.” “And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with subpoena requests from the House Oversight Committee, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and demanding more investigations into Epstein’s Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein’s victims than anyone before him.

“Meanwhile, Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Stacey Plaskett have yet to explain why they were seeking money and meetings from Epstein after he became a convicted sex offender.”
