Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein's relationship: A definitive timeline | CNN Politics
A timeline of Trump's interactions with Epstein and Maxwell reveals a long pattern of social proximity and one that stands in sharp contrast to Trump's public downplaying of their friendship.
![While not directly denying an impact, U.S. officials in the days and weeks after clearly attempted to downplay the Iranian attack, likely in an effort to not disrupt the swift ceasefire between Israel and Iran that was signed almost immediately following the attack against Al Udeid. In a social media post on June 23, U.S. President Trump stated that 13 of 14 ballistic missiles were intercepted in the Iranian attack on Al Udeid, with one missile being “set free” because it was deemed not to be a threat, with this likely being the missile that struck the radome at the base. Additionally, during a press briefing at the Pentagon on June 26, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine said there were “reports of something getting through,” but he refused to elaborate at the time about what that meant, or if there was any damage to Al Udeid.
