Donald Trump flared up at CNN when the media news outlet confronted him with newly unearthed decades-old images of him and his young kids with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Donald Trump’s second wife
After just 30 seconds on a call with correspondent Andrew Kaczynski on Tuesday, the president hung up when asked about the resurfaced images showing Epstein at Trump’s 1993 wedding to his second wife, Marla Maples.
The photographs also show Epstein that same year socializing with Trump and his children Ivanka and Eric at the Harley Davidson Cafe opening in New York.
The images are not new, but they have not been widely reported.
Kaczynski said that Trump dismissed the reupping of the images as his administration faces a slew of criticism from his MAGA base over the Justice Department’s botched Epstein files review.
‘We were not on the phone very long,’ he said on CNN after the article was published on Tuesday. ‘I think our call was about 30 seconds or so.’
‘When I asked him about the wedding photo… he sort of paused for a second and then said, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me,’ before calling CNN ‘fake news’ and then hanging up on me,’ the journalist recalled of Trump shutting down the conversation.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung doubled down on the fake news claims and reiterated how Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for ‘being a creep.’
