CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski says Trump hung up on him after 30 seconds when asked about these “new” Epstein wedding photos. Here’s what they actually show — and why people are calling CNN out.
It was supposed to be a bombshell: CNN unveiled what it called “never-before-seen” photos of Donald Trump with Jeffrey Epstein at his 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. The images were shown on Erin Burnett’s segment, presented as exclusive material that predates Epstein’s legal controversies.
But here’s the twist… the same photos have been available on Shutterstock and even Google Images for years. CNN’s own reporter admitted it.
“They have not been widely reported,” Kaczynski explained — moments before being hung up on by Trump after calling to ask about the images. Trump reportedly told him, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before branding CNN “fake news.”
The White House was quick to respond. Spokesman Steven Cheung blasted the report as a desperate attempt to rehash old footage: “These are out-of-context frame grabs of widely attended events. The president kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep.”
Even conservative influencers mocked CNN. Eric Daugherty called it “years-old news” repackaged to “further a hoax on Trump.”
Meanwhile, bigger Epstein developments are surfacing. Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s former lawyer, confirmed that Democratic elites like George Mitchell and Bill Richardson were named in FBI interviews — but had their names redacted from official reports.
So what’s really going on? Is the media reviving old photos to distract from the names coming out?
Whatever the truth, this isn’t the bombshell CNN thought it was.
