Fox News Removes Trump From Photo with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — But Not Melania

Fox News everyone! They will do anything to limit the damage to Republicans and especially Trump, though they do sometimes find themselves having to report on stuff he’s said and done. But with respect to problems with “bad stuff” like his obvious “close” relationship with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell? Well, that’s where Fox is able to help.

How about this? Editing a photo of Epstein and Maxwell, so that Trump isn’t in the picture?

From Mediaite, which also has the picture:

Fox News apparently cropped President Donald Trump out of a photograph with Jeffrey Epstein on Sunday, during the network’s coverage of the arrest of Ghislane Maxwell.

The edited photo aired on America’s News Headquarters while anchor Leland Vittert reported on Maxwell’s arrest and the charges against her in connection with Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex crimes. Vittert interviewed Jordan Merson, an attorney for several of Epstein’s accusers, and the network aired this photo of Maxwell and Epstein (and part of First Lady Melania Trump).

Do not worry, it was all a little mistake. Fox meant nothing by it:

 Fox News told Mediaite that the network “mistakenly eliminated” Trump from the photo. See the full statement below:

On Sunday, July 5, a report on Ghislaine Maxwell during FOX News Channel’s America’s News HQ mistakenly eliminated President Donald Trump from a photo alongside then Melania Knauss, Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell. We regret the error.

No, not really. We doubt it. It took work to crop Trump out, and that work went into their report.

This is the original:

As you can see, the full version shows Maxwell and Epstein standing next to Trump and then Melania Knauss at Mar-a-Lago. The photo was taken in 2000, when the future president and first lady were dating.

Interestingly, Maxwell’s arrest has both sides frothing about possible implications from Maxwell’s story. The left wants explanations for the MANY pictures and video shots of Trump and Epstein, and meanwhile, the Right is very interested in Bill Clinton and a few other prominent Democrats. Strangely, it seems that the Republicans haven’t considered the fact that Bill Clinton isn’t running in this election, unlike Trump, who is.

Regardless, Fox is there to help Trump out, some, with respect to Trump and Epstein.
