Trump Crashes Out Over Damning Resurfaced Photos With Epstein
The president's reportedly close history with Jeffrey Epstein is becoming harder to refute. CNN published videos and little-known photographs Tuesday of Jeffrey Epstein at Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, proving that the pedophilic sex trafficker was in attendance at Trump's ceremony at the Plaza Hotel. It was previously not widely known that Epstein was a guest at the wedding. The network also found video footage of the two men laughing and chatting together ahead of a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event. But when the network rang to inquire about the images, Trump exploded. 'We were not on the phone very long,' reporter Andrew Kaczynski told CNN host Erin Burnett. 'I think our call was about 30 seconds or so. But when I asked him about the wedding photo, he said 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.' Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, ferociously spit back at the network, decrying the images as 'nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events.' He accused CNN of leveraging the images in its reporting to 'disgustingly infer something nefarious.' 'The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media,' Cheung told CNN. But Trump has a well-documented history with the New York financier. Prior to his death, Epstein described himself as one of Trump's 'closest friends.' The socialites were named and photographed together several times, Trump allegedly penned a salacious letter to Epstein for the pedophile's 50th birthday, the real estate mogul reportedly flew on Epstein's jets between Palm Beach and New York at least seven times, and the first time that Trump slept with his now-wife Melania was reportedly aboard Epstein's plane, nicknamed the 'Lolita Express.' In a 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein, Trump said he knew Epstein for 15 years and referred to him as a 'terrific guy.' 'It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,' Trump said at the time. Solve the daily Crossword

Florida teens' dangerous social media challenge has police warning parents, homeowners
Police in Florida issued a warning after a group of minors took part in the "door kick challenge," a social media trend aimed at frightening homeowners. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said in a Facebook post that five juvenile suspects were walking around a neighborhood in Riverview, Florida, when two of them approached a house. Officials said one of the individuals, who was wearing a ski mask, kicked the front door and fired an airsoft gun. The minors then fled the area. Deputies said the "door kick challenge" could turn into a dangerous situation and encouraged parents to talk to their children. Deadly Social Media Trend Threatens Kids, Homeowners Defending Themselves: 'Children Are Going To Get Killed' "The door kick challenge is a prank circulating on social media. #teamHCSO is asking parents to speak to their children about this dangerous trend, which could end in tragedy," the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. Read On The Fox News App Video released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office shows an individual approaching the front door before kicking it several times, firing an airsoft gun and then fleeing the area. Texas Bill Pushes Strictest Social Media Ban For Minors In The Nation Titania Jordan, CMO and chief parent officer at Bark Technologies, a parental control app, previously told Fox News Digital that teens are doing this social media trend to get attention. "This sort of content is going to get likes. It's going to get comments. It is going to get shares. It's going to encourage children to try to emulate it because it's clout — they gain clout from their peers because of this," Jordan said. "Any challenge like this, children aren't thinking, 'Is this the right thing to do? Is this safe?' They're thinking, 'I want validation,' and children are going to get killed. I mean, just one person who is armed who gets their door kicked in by a kid, and you're gonna have another national headline that is very sad."
