In a fresh development in the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein saga, CNN has released never-before-seen images showing Epstein attending Donald Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, along with archival footage capturing the two men conversing at a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
The exclusive material, unveiled Tuesday, adds new context to the long-speculated relationship between the disgraced financier and the former U.S. President. While Trump and Epstein’s acquaintance has been previously reported, Epstein’s presence at the 1993 wedding was not widely known until now.
The footage from the 1999 fashion event—where Trump and Epstein are seen chatting casually—was unearthed as CNN combed through video archives from Trump’s public appearances in the 1990s.
These revelations come shortly after a Wall Street Journal report disclosed a letter written by one of Epstein’s friends on his 50th birthday, further fueling public scrutiny over Epstein’s ties with influential figures.
The re-emergence of the Epstein case follows a July 6 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice stating that no additional details about the Epstein investigation will be released. The DOJ also denied the existence of Epstein’s rumored “black book,” which allegedly contained names of his high-profile associates.
Donald Trump has dismissed the new CNN report as “fake news,” maintaining his distance from Epstein in public remarks. Trump had earlier declined to answer questions about Epstein in interviews, labeling them “nonsense” and part of a “witch hunt.”
A longstanding claim suggests that Trump banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2004 after Epstein allegedly made inappropriate advances toward the daughter of a club member. Attorney Bradley Edwards, who represented several of Epstein’s victims, publicly supported this claim. However, no formal documentation of such a ban has ever been released by Trump or Mar-a-Lago.
As public attention intensifies, these resurfaced images and videos further complicate the narrative surrounding Epstein’s network and its potential connections to high-ranking individuals.
