New uncovered video images and photos reveal new details about Donald Trump's earlier relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein was attending Trump's wedding in 1993 with Marla Maples. The presence of Epstein during the ceremony in the Plaza Hotel was not generally known.
In addition, images of a Victoria's Secret Fashion event in New York from 1999 shows Trump and Epstein Laughing and Chat together prior to the catwalking event. CNN's KFILE unveiled the raw images during an overview of Trump's archive video during events in the nineties and 2000s. Trump and Epstein appeared together in at least one video among the assessed archive images.
The new images and photos, which have not been reported generally and date from before the well -known legal issues of Epstein, come to Trump's earlier relationship with Epstein. In some corners of Trump's Maga movement of Trump, the recent decision of the Ministry of Justice not to release long promised files with regard to Epstein, where people have developed an expectation for bomb revelations in the alleged fellow-samenswers of Epstein.
In a short phone call with CNN on Tuesday early President Trump to the wedding photos, replied: “You are kidding me”, before he repeatedly called and hangs CNN “fake news”.
In a statement to CNN, Steven Cheung, communication director of the White House, said: “These are nothing more than non-context frame grayers of harmless videos and photos of widespread events to inform something nephetic.
“The fact is that the president kicked him out of his club because he was a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories that were invented by the Democrats and the liberal media.”
Accusations that Epstein sexually minor girls sexually abused, occurred for the first time in 2005, which led to his arrest a year later. He was again arrested in 2019 for federal charges for sex trade and later died in prison, so that countless conspiracy theories were fueled. The medical researcher ruled his death by hanging a suicide.
An earlier relationship
Trump's relationship with Epstein dates from the 1980s and regularly included performances at social events in Palm Beach and New York. No law enforcement agencies have ever accused Trump of misconduct with regard to Epstein.
The two had a fall-out in the mid-2000s, according to the Washington Post, from a dispute about a controversial real estate deal in Palm Beach.
Before that time, photos and video repeatedly showed that the two were friendly. In 2019, NBC posted images of a party that has Trump socialized with Epstein in 1992.
A year later in October 1993, photographer Dafydd Jones took photos with a high society at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York, where Trump and Epstein were conquered together.
“There was a man who hit me – the way he looked – and he gave me his card. It said: Jeffrey Epstein, financial adviser,” Jones recalled this week in an interview with CNN.

Jones took pictures of Trump with his arm around his two young children while standing next to Epstein, leaning on a railing.
Two months later, in December 1993, Jones was assigned by a media organization to photograph Trump's wedding. Among the photos he took was one of Epstein who entered the event.
'I have to acknowledge him [to the event]”Jones told CNN, and added that he only took selected photos of participants he thought it seemed interesting.

“I wish I now took more from him with Trump,” he said. “I had the task of photographing the Trump wedding, so I stood with the press and photographed him. The image you have is from the contact sheet – the negatives have been lost.”
Another photo records Epstein on the marriage of Trump, part of the archive of life assessed by CNN. It shows Epstein who smiles in the background – his head just visible between other guests and shock Jock Howard Stern and Robin Leach of “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”, who took a group photo.

Together at a fashion show
The 1999 fashion show was not the first Victoria's Secret event where the couple was together. Two photos of Getty images show that Trump and Epstein appear at an angel party from 1997 in New York, two years before the images discovered by CNN.
The presence of Epstein at the 1999 fashion show also reflects his long -term ties with Leslie Wexner, the founder of the billionaire of the parent company of Victoria's Secret. Epstein managed Wexner's finances from 1987 to around 2007. The two later broken tires, and Wexner said that he was not aware of Epstein's alleged crimes during their association.
In 2002, Trump was quoted in a New York magazine of Epstein – “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery” – in which he was described as “a great man”, who said he has been known Epstein for 15 years. “It is even said that he loves beautiful women as much as me, and many of them are on the younger side,” Trump said.
Trump flew on Epstein's Jets between Palm Beach and New York, at least seven times according to flight logs.
In his book from 2004, “Trump: How to get rich”, Trump wrote about a phone call from a man he called “the mysterious Jeffrey”.
“As mysterious as Jeffrey is, he is one of the few people I know who can make up with just a first name. My staff never asks for a last name in his case, who sets him up with Elvis in a certain way. Not that Elvis calls a lot these days, but you never know,” Trump wrote.
It is unclear whether the “Mysterious Jeffrey” is Epstein and the White House did not tackle it in a comment to CNN.
Images published in the Palm Beach Post In 2000, Epstein Associate Ghislaine Maxwell-Die is currently a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trade and prince Andrew present in a fundraising of charities on Mar-A-Lago.
Last week the Wall Street Journal reported on a birthday message that sent Trump's name lower for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. According to the diary, it contained an overview of a naked woman and a typed note that ended with the line: “Happy birthday – and can be another wonderful secret every day.”
After the report, the Trump government promised to release Grand Jury materials with regard to Epstein. The federal court that supervises Maxwell's case has established a deadline for the Ministry of Justice to provide information so that he can determine whether the transcripts should be explained.
The Ministry of Justice also said on Tuesday that contact with Maxwell for a meeting in the midst of recoil on the handling of files by the administration with regard to Epstein.
Maxwell's lawyer told CNN that they “are in discussion with the government” about this issue. “Ghislaine will always be truthfully witnessed. We are grateful to President Trump for his dedication to discover the truth in this case,” said lawyer David Oscar Markus.
Trump has denied the autoring of the memorandum and drawing and called the report incorrect. On Friday he sued the newspaper for defamation in the federal court in Florida.
