Joy Behar Claims Trump Uses Rosie O’Donnell Feud to Dodge Epstein Scandal

In a recent podcast episode of 'The View Behind The Table,' Joy Behar dropped a bombshell theory about President Donald Trump’s latest verbal sparring with former 'View' co-host Rosie O’Donnell. Behar suggests that Trump’s harsh words, including a threat to revoke O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship, might be a calculated move to divert attention from the lingering shadows of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Trump has been under fire for dismissing calls to uncover more details about Epstein, the disgraced financier who died by suicide in federal custody in 2019. Despite public skepticism and conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death—fueled further by his brother’s doubts and a lack of a so-called 'client list' from federal reviews—Trump recently urged Republicans to drop the issue, labeling it a Democratic hoax akin to past political controversies.

Behar, speaking with podcast co-host Brian Teta, didn’t hold back. She posited that Trump’s aggressive Truth Social post, where he called O’Donnell a 'Threat to Humanity' and suggested she stay in Ireland, could be a deliberate distraction. 'You know, he’ll do anything to keep the news media off this Epstein story,' she remarked, hinting at a deeper strategy behind the personal attack.

Adding fuel to the fire, Behar noted the frustration among some of Trump’s supporters who feel betrayed after promises to declassify Epstein files during the 2024 campaign went unfulfilled. 'They thought they’d get a juicy story implicating others, but now they just feel duped,' she observed with a sharp edge.

Meanwhile, the Epstein saga continues to haunt public discourse, with federal officials standing firm that his death was a suicide and no further files will be released. Whether Trump’s latest feud with O’Donnell is a genuine grudge or a smoke screen, as Behar suspects, one thing is clear: the Epstein story isn’t fading from the spotlight anytime soon.
