CNN issues major 'breaking news' alert in worst blow to Donald Trump yet
CNN's regular broadcast was halted for breaking news about US President Donald Trump and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein
CNN shares montage of Trump saying he'll release Epstein files
CNN issued a major update about Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after the broadcaster released a review into the world leader's ties to the paedophile. The presenter began the news alert by saying: "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 said photos, flight logs and court records help reveal how long their personal record really was. KFiles senior editor Andrew Kaczynski appeared on the programme to discuss CNN's comprehensive investigation into Trump and the convicted paedophile's relationship. Kaczynski claimed: "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 reviewed hundreds of hours of video, photographs, exhibits from lawsuits, and court files before publishing the lengthy report.
Kaczynski then showed flight records of times Trump used Epstein's private jet in the 1990s. He added: "All of these trips, eight in total, were documented in logs from a trial."
As part of the special report, a timeline of Trump's interaction with Epstein and his former associate, who is behind bars for sex trafficking, Ghislane Maxwell, revealed a pattern of "social proximity that stands in sharp contrast to Trump's public attempts to downplay their friendship".
Trump has tried to distance himself from billionaire sex offender Epstein, who took his own life in a New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting trial.
The President has insisted he's "not a fan" of Epstein and has called him a "creep", as well as stating he had not spoken to him in years before his death.
Kaczynski explained that the White House didn't respond to any of CNN's detailed questions; however, communications director Steven Cheung said of Epstein: "The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep."
