The Daily Show host Trevor Noah has asked Hilary Clinton how she assassinated billionaire and convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein.
In a segment that was clearly designed to lampoon the various conspiracy theories that have arisen on social media in the wake of Epstein's supposed suicide, Noah asked the blunt question about Epstein in front of his studio audience.
He drew laughter from Hilary and daughter Chelsea Clinton, who were appearing on his show to promote their new project; The Book of Gutsy Women.
Watch the moment Trevor asked Clinton the damning question here:

Noah asked: "I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein? Because you’re not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president. Honestly, what does it feel like being the boogeyman to the right?"
Hilary Clinton responded: "The things [conspiracy theorists] say, and now, of course, it’s on steroids with being online, are so ridiculous, beyond any imagination that I could have. And yet they are so persistent in putting forth these crazy ideas and theories. Honestly, I don’t know what I ever did to get them to upset. ... I've gotten kind of used to it."
However, interest in Epstein's death has reignited, after pathologist Dr. Michael Baden stated on FOX & Friends that Epstein's featured a number of injuries that "are extremely unusual in suicidal hangings and could occur much more commonly in homicidal strangulation."
You can see his comments in the video below:

Baden, who has probed cases involving OJ Simpson, President John F Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr, added: "I think that the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide ... Hanging does not cause these broken bones. Homicide does ... I’ve not seen in 50 years where that occurred in a suicidal hanging case."
Jeffery Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center 6:30 am on August 10, 2019. Emergency services were summoned shortly after, but he could not be resuscitated. The Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Attorney General William Barr claimed that Epstein's death an apparent suicide. However, the circumstances surrounding his death are still being investigated by the Justice Department.

A former US Navy Seal has alleged on a live Fox News segment that convicted the sex offender and billionaire Jeffrey Epstein did not die as a result of committing suicide.
The incident occurred on Saturday, October 2, when Warrior Dog Foundation founder Mike Ritland was discussing the military dog Conan, the Belgian Malinois who helped to take down ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in an operation in Syria.
However, at the end of his segment, Ritland briefly advised viewers at home not to adopt military dogs if they were unprepared for the responsibility of raising them, and added suddenly, "And Epstein didn’t kill himself."
Watch Ritland's outburst on the Fox News segment below:

Host Jesse Waters initially laughed at the former SEAL's non-sequitur, before chiming in: "OK. Thank you for that commentary. Maybe more on that later."
This bizarre moment had occurred just a few days after Daily Show host Trevor Noah appeared to jokingly ask Hilary Clinton whether she had any hand in Epstein's death.
Speaking to the former senator, Noah stated: "I have to ask you a question that has been plaguing me for a while: How did you kill Jeffrey Epstein? Because you’re not in power, but you have all the power. I really need to understand how you do what you do, because you seem to be behind everything nefarious, and yet you do not use it to become president.

Donald Trump has suggested that American financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, may have been murdered in his prison cell rather than having committed suicide.
In an interview with AXIOS's Jonathan Swan, which aired last night, Trump appeared to cast doubt on the official ruling over Epstein's death, and offered another round of well-wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell - Epstein's associate who is currently awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.
She has pleaded not guilty.
When asked by Swan why he wished purported sex offender Maxwell well, he replied: "Her boyfriend [Epstein] died in jail — yeah I wish her well… good luck."
"Let them prove somebody was guilty... Her boyfriend [Epstein] died in jail, and people are still trying to figure out how did it happen," he continued. "Was it suicide? Was he killed? And I do wish her well. I'm not looking for anything bad for her. I'm not looking bad for anybody."
The full interview can be seen below:

"Her boyfriend died in jail, was he killed, was it suicide… I do, I wish her well," he added.
Trump previously extended well-wished to Maxwell during a press conference held on the 21st of July, when a journalist asked his opinions on her arrest.
"I just wish her well frankly," he said. "I've met her numerous times over the years, especially since I've lived in Palm Beach, but I wish her well, whatever it is."
Trump's assertions appear to stoke conspiracy theories over the cause of death of the disgraced financier, who committed suicide last August while being detailed in a New York City jail on sex-trafficking charges.
Conspiracy theories about Epstein's death have been widespread. An Emerson College poll, which was conducted last August, discovered that only 33% of Americans believed the autopsy report, and agreed with its verdict that his cause of death was suicide.
Epstein, who was 66-years-old at the time of his death, stood accused of abusing dozens of young girls. He was found unresponsive in his cell after being put on suicide watch after a suspected attempt to take his own life at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Attorney General William Barr later confirmed the assessment that his cause of death was suicide.
Epstein's death is now under investigation by the Justice Department.

The release of thousands of emails connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein set the internet ablaze last week, thanks in part to one bizarre and unexpectedly viral exchange.
Within the document dump, published by the House Oversight Committee, readers found a strange conversation between Epstein and his brother Mark that referenced Donald Trump allegedly engaging in a sexual act with someone referred to only as “Bubba.”
That single nickname was all it took for social media to explode with speculation, jokes, and theories.
The email in question, dated March 2018, showed Mark Epstein telling his brother to ask Steve Bannon whether Vladimir Putin “has the photos of Trump blowing Bubba.” Jeffrey Epstein, in response, quipped, “and i thought- I had tsuris,” using the Yiddish word for troubles. Once the messages surfaced publicly, users zeroed in on the nickname.

The nickname Bubba has long been associated with former President Bill Clinton. And given that both Clinton and Trump had well-documented ties to Jeffrey Epstein at various points, many online commentators jumped to the conclusion that the exchange was either a jab at Clinton, a coded reference, or something far more serious.
Memes, joke theories, and mock-investigations proliferated across social media platforms within hours. Some users approached it from a place of dark humor, while others attempted to read between the lines, convinced the brothers’ messages hinted at something hidden within Epstein’s infamous social circle.
As speculation gained momentum, Mark Epstein released a statement attempting to shut down the most prominent theory. Shared by Business Insider reporter Jacob Shamsian, the statement insisted that people were misinterpreting the email entirely.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the reference to ‘Bubba’ in this correspondence is not, in any way, a reference to former President Bill Clinton,” Mark wrote. He also described the exchange as “simply part of a humorous private exchange between two brothers,” criticizing attempts to attach broader meaning or political implications to the messages.
But while the statement dismissed Clinton as the person behind the nickname, it offered no alternative explanation. The true identity of “Bubba” remains unaddressed, leaving the mystery wide open.
Then, on Monday (November 17) Mark appeared via phone call on NewsNation where a reporter asked him about the Clinton rumor. "Let me stop you here," Mark responds. "I'm not discussing that email. This was a private email between Jeffrey and myself – two brothers talking – it's nobody's business what we wrote."
He continued: "The only thing I responded to, because people got crazy, was the 'Bubba' reference and they tried to pin it on Clinton. So I made a public statement that it was not any reference to Bill Clinton. I like Bill Clinton and sorry for him that he had to go through that. But the emails had nothing to do with Clinton and that's my last word on that email."
Even after the clarification, the online chatter has barely slowed. The sheer volume of emails released has reignited public fascination with Epstein’s extensive web of acquaintances, many of whom were powerful political, business, and entertainment figures. Any unusual detail within the documents was bound to attract attention, and the “Bubba” reference quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the release.
For now, the question of who “Bubba” refers to remains unanswered. And as more of Epstein’s communications continue to surface publicly, each new detail adds another layer to the already sprawling conversation surrounding his connections and influence. Whether the remark was a harmless joke or a clue to something larger, the internet shows no signs of letting this particular mystery go anytime soon.

Chelsea Manning has appeared to suggest that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was murdered in prison.
The 66-year-old financier had been awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges when he died on August 10, 2019. He had pleaded not guilty to the charges and was being held without bail.
"[Epstein] was found unresponsive in his cell in the Special Housing Unit from an apparent suicide," a statement from the Justice Department said at the time.
"Mr. Epstein was transported... to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries, and subsequently pronounced dead," the statement added.
At the time, it was reported that he had died by suicide - as it had officially been ruled as such.
In spite of reports confirming that Epstein used a bedsheet in his cell to hang himself, conspiracy theorists continue to argue that the man was murdered - including, apparently, whistleblower Chelsea Manning.
The billionaire is believed to have denied having any suicidal ideations before his death, despite some members of prison staff saying there were signs of troubling behavior, according to documents from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP), CNN reports.
In any case, Manning was a guest on an episode of the H3 podcast, where she shared her thoughts on what happened to Epstein.
When she was asked by hosts Ethan and Hila Klein what she thought of the circumstances surrounding the death of the disgraced financier based on her own experience as an inmate, she said: "Murder, that's how a prison murder happens. I know. That stuff happens. Some of theses stories are in my book. You wanna get rid of someone in prison? That's how you do it."
Manning continued: "I just gotta' say, time and time again - the most violent people in the prison are the prison guards, every single time, just endless amounts of fear and anxiety of what a correctional guard of any variety was going to do.
"It haunts me to say, I don't associate the prison uniform with violence, but I see the CO uniform and it's different.
"I would say that there's the rule of thirds. There are guards who care, they think they are doing a service and they try to be fair - it's a fast turnover rate. Then there are the guards who look the other way, treat it as a paycheck.
"Then there's the sadistic ones, the ones who play games and lie and cheat and steal, and get away with it. The other third who look the other way, don't do anything."

The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has spoken out in defense of her ex-husband Prince Andrew.
This took place ahead of an explosive "no-holds-barred interview" with BBC Newsnight's Emily Maitlis where the Prince discusses the sexual assault allegations made against him and his friendship with the now-deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In the video below, Trevor Noah asks Hillary Clinton is she killed Jeffrey Epstein:

"It is so rare to meet people that are able to speak from their hearts with honesty+pure real truth, that remain steadfast and strong to their beliefs," Sarah, more commonly known as Fergie, wrote on Friday.

"Andrew is a true+real gentleman and is stoically steadfast to not only his duty but also his kindness + goodness @TheDukeOfYork," she continued.
The pair were married between 1986 and 1996.
"I kick myself ... on a daily basis," the Duke of York admitted of his friendship with Epstein.
"I stayed with him and that's [something] I kick myself for on a daily basis because it was not something that was becoming of a member of the royal family and we try and uphold the highest standards and practices and I let the side down, simple as that," the Queen Elizabeth's second son said.

In the interview, the Prince also addressed his alleged relationship with Virginia Roberts (now Virginia Giuffre), who claims that she was forced to have sex with the Prince three times between 1999 and 2002. The incidents were alleged to have taken place in London and Epstein's private island in the Caribbean.
"I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever," he said.
In the interview, Prince Andrew claims Robert's allegations are false... because he cannot sweat:

According to Giuffre, she was paid to have sex with Prince Andrew by Epstein, with the first incident taking place when she was just 17 years old.

In August, Buckingham Palace released a statement saying that the Prince was "appalled by the recent reports of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged crimes," which also involved the alleged trafficking of girls as young as 14.
"His Royal Highness deplores the exploitation of any human being and the suggestion he would condone, participate in or encourage any such behavior is abhorrent," the palace said.
The "Prince Andrew & the Epstein Scandal" will air on BBC2 at 9 pm this Saturday in the UK. It's not known when it will broadcast in the UK.
