US President Donald Trump suffered a shocking blow from CNN as the network decided to air a brutal montage about his remarks on the Epstein files.
In a breaking news alert, which read, “Trump calls Epstein files, which his base built up, a ‘hoax”, the channel then broadcast a compilation of Trump and people within the government calling for the Epstein files to come out.
Trump said in a previous interview when asked if he would declassify the files, he said, “Yeah I would,” and in another interview, he stated, “I’d be inclined to do the Epstein files, I have no problem with that, as podcaster Theo Von said, “Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list, that is an important thing.

Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel said in an interview that, when asked why the files weren’t being shown yet, he said, “Simple, because of who is in them.”

He added, “Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.”
United States Attorney General Pam Bondi also said in a previous interview on CNN that she would be sharing Epstein updates as she stated, “I think tomorrow Jesse, breaking news right now, you are going to see some Epstein information by my office,” adding in a separate chat, “It is sitting on my desk right now to review.”
“A truckload of evidence arrived, it is now in the possession of the FBI, it is a new day and a new administration and everything is going to come out to the public,” she added at the time.
Following Trump’s social media post about Epstein coverage, where he stated, “Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls–t,’ hook, line, and sinker,” in a lengthy post on X.
It was reported that Vice President JD Vance was planning to host a meeting at his home, aimed at gathering Trump officials to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, according to sources who spoke to CNN.
However, amid media scrutiny, the meeting was postponed, and Vance denied any plans for an Epstein strategy meeting.
NBC News reported, “White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche were expected to attend.”
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.
