LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The July 16 episode of 'The View' reignited debate around the Jeffrey Epstein case, with co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar weighing in on the growing public demand for transparency regarding the disgraced financier’s alleged client list.

While Hostin called for Epstein’s former associate Ghislaine Maxwell to testify from prison, Behar issued a clear warning. 



 

Joy Behar says Ghislaine Maxwell ‘better be careful’ as pressure mounts over Jeffrey Epstein list

“She better be careful,” Joy Behar said, referring to Ghislaine Maxwell’s reported willingness to speak out. 

Sunny Hostin added, “Let her testify, If there is a list, if there isn't a list. I think there should be an investigation, because people seem to want to know what's happening.”

Behar’s concern may stem from ongoing speculation surrounding Epstein’s 2019 jailhouse death, which many believe was not a suicide.

Joy Behar slams Donald Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein ‘hoax’ claims,

Joy Behar criticized Donald Trump’s recent denials, saying, “He keeps protesting. ‘There’s no list, there’s no list,’ then ‘there’s a list, there’s no list.’ It’s like the lady doth protest too much.”

She added, “If I kept saying that I never dyed my hair, you would believe the opposite, right? That’s what he’s doing. ‘I’m innocent. I’m innocent. I did nothing,’ a lot of what he’s saying, and that makes me suspicious.”



 

Trump, in a July 16 Truth Social tirade, dismissed the renewed focus on the Epstein case, saying, “Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at, it’s all they have, They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Their new scam is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls**t,’ hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

He also claimed, “I’ve achieved more success in 6 months than perhaps any president in our Country’s history,” blaming the shift in attention on “Fake News” and “success-starved Democrats” pushing what he calls the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”

Trump added, “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

On 'The View,' Behar took a jab at Trump’s Truth Social rant, noting the irony of him calling his supporters “weaklings” despite having dodged military service himself due to alleged “bone spurs.”
