CNN anchor Erin Burnett tapped her pen on her desk and took a brief pause on her show before reading about the contents of a new photo dump from House Democrats on the Jeffrey Epstein files: an image of Donald Trump-themed condoms.
Burnett opened her show, “OutFront” on Friday, sharing that reporters received dozens of new photos from the Epstein estate as part of a larger trove of 95,000 images. Some of these photos served as the newest evidence of Trump’s long relationship with Epstein, Burnett noted.
After sharing a clip of Trump claiming ignorance of the photo dump, Burnett noted the president was pictured in some of them.
“And of course it is important. One new photo released today that had been in Epstein’s possession shows Epstein and Trump standing shoulder to shoulder. Another shows Trump with six women wearing leis. The women’s faces were redacted by the committee, but you see Trump there,” she said.
Burnett added that the tranche included a photo of Trump with a woman whose face was blacked out on a plane.
But it was the last photo that made her pause.
“And then there was a photo that Epstein kept as well: a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Trump’s face on the wrapper and the words, quote — can’t believe I have to read this — ‘I’m huge,’” Burnett said, tapping her pen as a CNN staffer chuckles off camera. She placed an emphasis on the word “huge.”
“The condoms are in a bowl with a sign that says Trump condom, $4.50,” said Burnett. “And even as you laugh, to think about the fact that this was Jeffrey Epstein’s possession, it’s disgusting.”
Burnett noted Epstein also had a photo of himself and Steve Bannon, Ghislaine Maxwell, former President Bill Clinton, Woody Allen and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
