On SNL, Donald Trump says his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files is linked to his changes to the capital's architecture

The cold open wasn't the first time SNL mentioned Epstein, even in cold opens. But it was the first episode since the recent release of new files pertaining to Epstein on Friday, followed by the quick removal of some of them on Saturday.

The president (James Austin Johnson) warned of "Arctic immigrants are coming in through our chimneys and stealing our milk and cookies" in the final cold open of 2025.

The POTUS also showed footage of a 'suspected drug plane' and the U.S. military opening fire on Santa's sleigh.

I don't like the pictures of other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing,” he said of files released by the Justice Department.
