Fox News Edits Trump Out of Jeffrey Epstein Photo

July 6, 2020 at 3:25 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Fox News apologized for cropping President Trump out of a photograph of him posing with convicted pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the recently arrested socialite who allegedly served as Epstein’s “madam,” the Daily Beast reports.

“The network claimed the clear crop job was a mere mistake.”
