CNN delivered a major update about Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein following an extensive investigation by the network – and it could be a big blow for the President.
The network’s anchor kicked off the breaking news segment by claiming, “Donald Trump has long claimed he was no fan of Jeffrey Epstein, but our extensive reporting now shows the two shared a close social circle for nearly two decades.”
She claimed pictures, flight logs and court documents have helped to explain more about their connection. KFiles senior editor Andrew Kaczynski then joined the show to break down CNN’s bombshell investigation into Trump and the convicted pedophile’s alleged bond.

Kaczynski declared, “I think there were several associates who called them best friends, and Epstein himself said that he was Donald Trump’s closest friend for 10 years.”

The investigation team examined hundreds of hours of footage, photos, lawsuit evidence and court documents before releasing their report. Kaczynski then displayed flight records showing instances when Trump flew on Epstein’s private aircraft during the 1990s.
He continued, “All of these trips, eight in total, were documented in logs from a trial.” Within the special investigation, a chronology of Trump’s interactions with Epstein and his former accomplice Ghislane Maxwell – who is imprisoned for sex trafficking – uncovered a pattern of “social proximity that stands in sharp contrast to Trump’s public attempts to downplay their friendship,” according to CNN.
Trump has attempted to create distance between himself and billionaire sex offender Epstein, who died by suicide in a New York jail cell in 2019 while facing trial. The President has maintained he’s “not a fan” of Epstein and has branded him a “creep,” while also claiming he hadn’t communicated with him for years prior to his death.

Trump has always denied any wrongdoing relating to the Epstein case, has not been accused of any crimes by law enforcement and has never been identified as the subject of any investigation.
Kaczynski said the White House failed to respond to any of CNN’s inquiries but, communications director Steven Cheung said of Epstein, “The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep.”
