Trump Responds With Blunt 6 Words After New Photos Of Him And Jeffrey Epstein Surface

During his latest campaign for the presidency, Trump stated that he’d be willing to release documents connected to Epstein, the convicted sex offender, if elected into office again. He claimed he would have “no problem” doing so.

And in early 2025, he partly followed through on that promise. Attorney General Pamela Bondi released what she described as the “first phase” of declassified Epstein-related documents. But by July, Trump’s Department of Justice had announced it found “no basis” to make any more of those files public.

That statement didn’t sit well with everyone. Some people online quickly began speculating that Trump might be trying to hide something about his history with Epstein. And when one reporter asked him about it, his curt reply only added to the buzz: “Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable.”

Since then, Trump has said he still intends to release grand jury materials related to the Epstein case. But when asked once again—this time about photographs taken in 1993—he moved to shut the topic down fast.

The newly resurfaced media, uncovered by CNN’s KFile team, confirms for the first time that Epstein was at Trump’s second wedding in 1993 when he married Marla Maples.

In addition, video footage appears to capture Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York, dated 1999.

Dafydd Jones, the photographer from Trump’s 1993 wedding, told CNN that he “must have recognized” Epstein at the event. He recalled having seen Epstein before when he had photographed him alongside Trump at the Harley Davidson Café in New York, back in October 1993.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump.” he said in a recent interview. “I had the job 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 were lost.”

When CNN reached out for a statement regarding the wedding photos, Trump dismissed the topic altogether. He accused the network of spreading “fake news” and fired back with just six words: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Adding to the response, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a longer statement. He said: “These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious.”

“The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.”

Trump and Epstein’s connection goes all the way back to the 1980s. Over the years, they were seen at several of the same parties and high-profile social events. However, it’s said the two had a falling-out in the 2000s, reportedly over a real estate deal in Palm Beach.
