During a short conversation with CNN on Tuesday, President Trump, when questioned about the wedding pictures, said, “You must be joking,” and then kept referring to CNN as “fake news” before ending the call, according to Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck.

Additionally, Steven Cheung, the White House Communications Director known for his bold criticisms of the media, stated, “These are simply isolated clips from non-controversial videos and images of popular events meant to falsely suggest something sinister. The truth is that the President removed him from his club due to his inappropriate behavior. This is just another example of the fabricated news stories created by Democrats and the left-leaning press.”

This is merely the most recent in a string of disclosures regarding how closely Trump and Epstein were connected. A report from the Wall Street Journal last week, which led to a defamation lawsuit from Trump, outlined how he is alleged to have sent Epstein alewd birthday letterin 2003 featuring an illustration of a nude woman along with the phrase, “May each day be another amazing mystery.”

It also occurs as the Trump administration faces increasing bipartisan criticism, including from staunch members of the MAGA movement, regarding a perceived unwillingness to disclose documents related to the Epstein case, despite Attorney General Pam Bondi havingpromised full transparencyand the creation of a purported “client list” featuring wealthy and influential conspirators.
