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.
