Trump’s Tyson Rape Comments Resurface Amid Epstein Scandal
As President Trump faces scrutiny regarding his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, resurfaced clips from 1992 show his defense of Mike Tyson after the boxer’s rape conviction. In a Late Night with David Letterman interview, Trump deemed the six-year jail sentence “ridiculous,” suggesting Tyson pay restitution to rape victims instead, while also questioning the victim’s behavior. Similarly, on The Charlie Rose Show, Trump doubted the victim’s account, further fueling the controversy. These videos have reemerged amid public criticism of Trump’s handling of the Epstein files, particularly after the release of the DOJ’s memo regarding Epstein’s death.
