00:00Trump gets fact-checked on Epstein claim.

00:03President Donald Trump has repeatedly tried to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein

00:07while pointing the finger at his political opponents.

00:10However, CNN's Caitlin Collins fact-checked his claim that Epstein's friends were all Democrats,

00:16showing the president's well-documented relationship with the late financier.

00:20When questioned about signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act,

00:24he replied that he did want to sign it.

00:27Though he had previously dismissed the files as a hoax,

00:29Trump redirected the blame toward Democrats.

00:32We have nothing to do with Epstein.

00:34The Democrats do.

00:36All of his friends were Democrats, the president said.

00:39Congress approved the bill soon after,

00:41leading to the release of tens of thousands of Epstein-related documents.

00:44Although Trump likely anticipated support for his claims,

00:48CNN's The Source with Caitlin Collins pushed back,

00:51countering his comments with videos and quotes from both Epstein and Trump.

00:56There's flight logs that show Trump traveled on Epstein's jet

00:59four times in 1993, twice in 1994, again in 1995, and then in 1997.

01:06Collins then shared Trump's own words about his former friend.

01:10He described Epstein as,

01:11A lot of fun to be with.

01:13It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do.

01:17And many of them are on the younger side, Trump once said of Epstein.

01:21In the deposition clip shared by Collins, Epstein confirmed that he had interacted with Trump,

01:26responding yes when asked if they spent time together.

01:29When asked specifically whether he had socialized with Trump in the presence of females under the age 18,

01:34Epstein declined to answer, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights.

01:38So that he said he would be with him, he just said that he would come true.

01:42The Courts are leading to his own presence.

01:43And as he said, he told me before the day, he told me that he got is a natural person.

01:46He made his son's already afraid of his boyfriend.

01:47He told me that when the night he told me, you know, he said no.

01:48He said no, he said no.

01:51He said no, he said no.

01:53He said no, he said no.

01:55He said no, he said no.

01:57But he said no.

01:58He said no.
