**New Photos and Video Surface, Shedding Light on Trump’s Past with Epstein**

New York, NY – Archival video footage and photos have emerged, offering fresh insights into Donald Trump’s past relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The discoveries come amidst renewed scrutiny of their connection and controversy surrounding the Justice Department’s delayed release of Epstein-related files.

CNN’s KFile uncovered the material, including photos confirming Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples – a detail previously not widely known. A video from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event also shows Trump and Epstein laughing together before the show.

These images, pre-dating Epstein’s legal troubles, add to a growing body of evidence documenting the pair’s social interactions throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. Previously published images show them together at a 1997 Victoria’s Secret event and a 1992 party. Photographer Dafydd Jones recalls capturing photos of Trump with his children next to Epstein in 1993.

In 2002, Trump described Epstein as a “terrific guy” to New York Magazine, stating they had known each other for 15 years and shared an interest in “beautiful women… on the younger side.” Flight logs also indicate Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet several times.

President Trump responded to CNN’s inquiries about the wedding photos by calling CNN “fake news” and hanging up. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung dismissed the images as “out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures.” He stated that Trump had “kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep,” and accused Democrats and the media of concocting “fake news stories.”

The discovery comes as the Justice Department faces criticism for its delayed release of files related to Epstein. Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported on a birthday message, bearing Trump’s name for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003, prompting Trump to sue the newspaper for libel in federal court in Florida. In response to the controversy, the Justice Department said it has reached out to Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, for a meeting. Maxwell’s attorney said they are in discussions with the government and that Maxwell will testify truthfully.

Trump’s relationship with Epstein reportedly ended in the mid-2000s due to a real estate dispute. No law enforcement authorities have ever accused Trump of any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
