“In one document, they’ve redacted both the sender and recipient of an email that says, ‘I wanted you to know I made your chili for Super Bowl Sunday, and it was a winner. Everyone loved it, and I gave you credit,’” Colbert said.
Colbert joked that likely led to a “tough announcement” at the party.
“Hey guys, guess who gave me this chili recipe? Jeffrey Epstein!” he said. “But he made me promise not to reveal the secret ingredient, or anything else.”
