Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele delivered a blistering critique Wednesday of President Donald Trump’s shifting narrative regarding his relationship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, underscoring that “we have videotape” evidence contradicting Trump’s denials.

During a segment on his MSNBC show Wednesday evening, he said, “This thing is so funny at this point. The funny part for me is everyone sort of treating this like Donald Trump doesn't know Jeffrey Epstein. That's the part I find [funny].”

He likened Trump's distancing from Epstein to Trump pretending ignorance of other controversial figures.

“Donald Trump saying he didn't know Jeffrey Epstein. It's like Donald Trump saying he didn't know Lev Parnas. Donald Trump saying he didn't know Paul Manafort. Donald Trump saying he didn't know Prince Andrew. Right? Get that connection.”

Steele pressed that Trump’s current claims fly in the face of Mar‑a‑Lago party footage from the early 1990s. “So he had this bro relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. They hung out, they partied. They ogled the same young women. We have video tape of this ... We have it on video tape!

Steele argued that Trump is now attempting a “backstroke” from a relationship evidenced on video, and asked what questions remain for Trump to answer.

“Because I don't have any more questions, because it is what it is. You know, the man you knew, the man you can't pretend you didn't, and now you're trying to do the backstroke away from a relationship that we have on videotape.”
