<p>CNN anchor John Berman reluctantly stepped in to save Cameron Kasky after the Parkland activist-turned-commentator defamed President Donald Trump — twice — during a Monday evening broadcast.</p>
<p>Berman was goaded into covering for Kasky — who twice claimed that Trump was &#8220;provably&#8221; involved in a &#8220;global sex trafficking ring&#8221; tied to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — by conservative commentator Scott Jennings, who had to ask whether Berman was going to let the accusation stand.</p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Activist Cameron Kasky DEFAMES President Trump live on CNN, accusing him of being a part of a global Epstein trafficking scheme.</p>
<p>It gets intense when Scott Jennings has to force the CNN host to begrudgingly say anything at all. This is CNN <a href="https://t.co/gpGF65umPH">pic.twitter.com/gpGF65umPH</a></p>
<p>— Cash Loren (@Cashloren) <a href="https://twitter.com/Cashloren/status/2013635989160214591?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 20, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I am appreciative that the president is being transparent about this,&#8221; Kasky said in reference to Trump&#8217;s designs on Greenland and his anger at not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. &#8220;I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can&#8217;t win them all.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Cameron&#8217;s grateful that the president is being transparent about the Nobel Peace Prize and his desires for Greenland, Scott, what do you think about that?&#8221; Berman asked, ignoring Kasky&#8217;s assertion.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re going to let that sit? Are we going to claim here on CNN that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring? Or —&#8221; Jennings pushed back.</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, we&#8217;re going to talk about the Epstein files, Scott, I will do the fact-checking as we go along here,&#8221; Berman protested, and then turned back to Kasky: &#8220;Repeat what you said about the global sex trafficking ring.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it,&#8221; Kasky declared.</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay, we&#8217;ll get to that later,&#8221; Berman said, eventually adding, &#8220;Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, but we will talk —&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, but let&#8217;s be adults here —&#8221; Kasky kept digging as Berman quickly scrambled to get him out of the hole.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll talk about the Epstein files later,&#8221; he said to Kasky, before turning back to Jennings and asking, &#8220;Satisfied? Now answer the question about Greenland.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sometime after the broadcast, Kasky apparently realized the gravity of what he&#8217;d said on air and offered an apology in which he also claimed he had twice made the accusation &#8220;by accident.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would like to retract my comments from CNN last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites,&#8221; Kasky said in an <a href="https://x.com/camkasky/status/2013760245298864477">X post</a>. &#8220;I said that by accident and didn’t mean it.&#8221;</p>
