Overview
- On HBO's November 21 Real Time, Bill Maher said Trump did a 'complete 180' on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files and warned any release would be heavily redacted.
- Maher highlighted Trump's 'Quiet, piggy' remark to reporter Catherine Lucey and mocked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's defense with a blunt rejoinder.
- He framed visits by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and New York City Mayor‑elect Zohran Mamdani as 'Muslim week at the White House,' a line that drew criticism on X.
- The in‑studio reaction to the 'Muslim week' joke was muted, with an awkward laugh noted alongside supportive comments from some online viewers.
- Maher also cited Trump's clash with Marjorie Taylor Greene over the Epstein files and noted the show now enters a holiday hiatus before returning in January 2026.
