Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images Klepper quipped that Trump - who once described Epstein as a "terrific guy" and socialized with him on several occasions - was "cool as a cucumber" and "not worried about a thing" before tearing apart his claim.

According to Trump, all the top Democrats got together and said, 'Let's create some fake files that destroy Trump's political career.' They don't ever use them. They let Trump get elected, don't use them. Let Trump get elected again, still don't use them," Klepper said.

You know, that plan sounds so inconceivably bad, I do believe the Democrats might have come up with it." Comedy Central / Via youtube.com Trump has continued to face backlash from his supporters since the Justice Department released a memo on Epstein that contradicted Attorney General Pam Bondi's past claim that the disgraced financier's "client list" was on her desk for review.

You were harder on Kristen Stewart for cheating on Robert Pattinson," he quipped.
