CNN Allows Claim That President Was Part of 'Global Sex Trafficking Ring' Until Scott Jennings Challenges

Cameron Kasky retracted his claim linking Trump to Epstein’s trafficking network after strong pushback; 49% of the public suspect Trump’s involvement, a recent poll shows.

  • On Monday, Cameron Kasky, a Parkland shooting survivor and gun control advocate, accused President Donald Trump on CNN NewsNight of ties to Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network, while Scott Jennings challenged John Berman not to let the claim "sit" unchallenged.
  • A clash began after Scott Jennings repeatedly used the term "illegals," which Cameron Kasky and others called dehumanizing, while Kasky contrasted President Donald Trump's Greenland remarks with alleged Epstein ties.
  • On Tuesday, Cameron Kasky posted a retraction and apology on X saying "I would like to retract my comments," while Scott Jennings reposted the clip mocking the retraction with a >7 B tag.
  • The clip prompted mounting criticism of Scott Jennings as it circulated, with CNN contributor Julie Roginsky calling out his vitriol, while John Berman fact-checked and steered the panel toward the Epstein Files.
  • Public suspicion has been deepened after a last year’s release of Epstein files suggested Trump may have spent hours with a victim, amid 49 percent in a poll suspecting his involvement.
