Neu entdeckte Fotos und Video vergießen frisches Licht auf Trumps Verbindungen zu Jeffrey Epstein

CNN — 

Newly uncovered archived video footage and photos reveal fresh details about Donald Trump’s past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. Epstein’s attendance at the ceremony at the Plaza Hotel was not widely known until now.

In addition, footage from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York shows Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting together ahead of the runway event. CNN’s KFile uncovered the raw footage during a review of archival video of Trump at events in the 1990s and 2000s. Trump and Epstein appeared together in at least one video among the limited archival footage reviewed.

The new footage and photos, which have not been widely reported and pre-date any of Epstein’s known legal issues, come amid renewed scrutiny of Trump’s past relationship with Epstein. The Justice Department’s recent decision not to release long-promised files related to Epstein has spurred outrage in some corners of Trump’s MAGA movement, where people developed an expectation for bombshell revelations into Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators.
In a brief call with CNN on Tuesday, President Trump, asked about the wedding photos, responded, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before repeatedly calling CNN “fake news” and hanging up.
In a statement to CNN, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung 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.”

Allegations that Epstein sexually abused underage girls first surfaced in 2005, leading to his arrest a year later. He was arrested again in 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges and later died in jail, fueling numerous conspiracy theories. The medical examiner ruled his death a suicide by hanging.

A past relationship
Trump’s relationship with Epstein dates back to the 1980s and included regular appearances at social events in Palm Beach and New York. No law enforcement authorities have ever accused Trump of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
The two had a falling-out in the mid-2000s, according to the Washington Post, stemming from a dispute over a high-profile real estate deal in Palm Beach.
Before then, photos and video repeatedly showed the two were friendly. In 2019, NBC posted footage of a party showing Trump socializing with Epstein in 1992.
A year later in October 1993, high-society photographer Dafydd Jones took photos at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York, capturing Trump and Epstein together.
“There was this guy there who struck me — the way he was looking — and he gave me his card. It said: Jeffrey Epstein, financial advisor,” Jones recalled in an interview with CNN this week.

Jones captured photos of Trump with his arm around his two young children as he stands 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 entering the event.
“I must have recognized him going in [to the event],” Jones said to CNN, adding he only took select photos of attendees he thought looked interesting.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” he said. “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.”

Another photo captures Epstein at Trump’s wedding, part of LIFE’s archive that was reviewed by CNN. It shows Epstein smiling 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 were taking a group picture.
LIFE’s collection of dozens of photos of Trump’s wedding are available online through Google Images and Shutterstock, and a CNN review of photos found multiple photos with Epstein.

Together at a fashion show
The 1999 fashion show wasn’t the first Victoria’s Secret event the pair attended together. Two photos from Getty Images show Trump and Epstein appearing at a 1997 Angels party in New York, two years before the footage uncovered by CNN.
Epstein’s presence at the 1999 fashion show also reflects his longstanding ties to Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret’s parent company. Epstein managed Wexner’s finances from 1987 to around 2007. The two later severed ties, and Wexner has said he was unaware of Epstein’s alleged crimes during their association.
In 2002, Trump was quoted in a New York Magazine profile of Epstein — “Jeffrey Epstein: International Moneyman of Mystery” — describing him as “a terrific guy,” saying he’s known Epstein for 15 years. “It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, 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 timesaccording to flight logs.
In his 2004 book, “Trump: How To Get Rich,” Trump wrote about taking a call from a man he named “the mysterious Jeffrey.”
“As mysterious as Jeffrey is, he’s one of the few people I know who can get by on just a first name. My staff never asks for a last name in his case, which in a way puts him up there with Elvis. Not that Elvis calls in much these days, but you never know,” Trump wrote.
It’s unclear if the “mysterious Jeffrey” is Epstein and White House did not address it in a comment to CNN.
Images published in the Palm Beach Post in 2000 also show Trump, Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell — who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking — and Prince Andrew in attendance at a charity fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.
Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported on a birthday message sent bearing Trump’s name for Epstein’s 50th birthday in 2003. According to the Journal, it contained an outline of a naked woman and a typed note that ended with the line: “Happy Birthday—and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Following the report, the Trump administration pledged to release grand jury materials related to Epstein. The federal judge overseeing Maxwell’s case set a deadline for the Justice Department to provide information so he can determine whether to unseal the transcripts.
The Department of Justice also said Tuesday it has reached out to Maxwell for a meeting amid backlash over the administration’s handling of files related to Epstein.
Maxwell’s attorney told CNN they “are in discussions with the government” on the matter. “Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth in this case,” attorney David Oscar Markus said.
Trump has denied authoring the note and drawing, calling the report false. On Friday, he sued the newspaper for libel in federal court in Florida.

Wonder what President Paedophile will do to distract from this one.

Add it to the pile of all the evidence—across decades—that not only points to his close ties and friendship with Epstein, but implicates him in an untold number of sex crimes.

Trump is desperately trying to sweep this scandal under the rug. Right now he’s levying baseless accusations of „treason“ against Obama and he’s even suing the WSJ for releasing the infamous birthday letter to Epstein:

> The letter reportedly concludes: „Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.“

Trump’s supporters are refusing to acknowledge his involvement and instead are blaming his subordinates for the lack of transparency. Some are trying to rationalize why the most obvious conclusion is the least likely—Fox News viewers especially:

Fox News deliberately edited Trump’s response during an interview when he was asked if he would release the „Epstein client list.“

Trump’s initial response:

> „Yeah, I think we should release it. People deserve to know.“

Fox left out his follow up:

> „But you have to understand, there’s a lot of lies in that list. A lot of names that shouldn’t be there. You don’t want to ruin innocent lives.“

Even outside of this Epstein controversy, Trump has been accused of sexual abuse, harassment or rape by dozens of women dating back to the 70s—particularly women on the „younger side.“

A book published in 2019 titled „All the President’s Women“ speaks of at least 43 allegations—one of them from Trump’s first wife.

These women have described Trump forcibly groping them; grabbing them inappropriately and kissing them without consent.

Former Miss ***TEEN*** USA contestants claimed that Trump would unexpectedly walk into their dressing rooms. One of the girls alleges that she remembers Trump saying, “*Don’t worry ladies, I’ve seen it all before.”* The youngest girl was 15 at the time.

> In an April 2005 interview on The Howard Stern Show, when asked about Miss USA and Miss Universe, Trump said he would go backstage before beauty pageant shows, the only man in the room while the women were “standing there with no clothes.” As the owner, “I sort of get away with things like that,” he added.

> Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant, told CNN that when she competed in 2006, Trump personally inspected each contestant, looking at them from head to toe like “sexual objects,” which made her feel “the dirtiest I felt in my entire life.”

Other incidents include:

> Jessica Leeds, [who] told The New York Times in 2016 that, in the late 1970s, Trump, who was a stranger to her, reached his hand up her skirt and grabbed her breasts on a flight to New York. She said he “was like an octopus” and his “hands were everywhere.“

One woman claimed that Trump tried to rape her in his daughters bedroom at Mar-A-Lago.

Reporter Natasha Stoynoff describes an incident when she was alone with Trump where he *“closed the door and pushed her against the wall before ‚forcing his tongue down [her] throat.'“* She was interviewing Trump for a story about his marriage to Melania.

There’s always the Stormy Daniels case and the „Hollywood access tape,“ scandals that should have ended his political career. But in a desperate move after the hot mic incident, Trump staged a surprise press conference where he paraded four women around in front of reporters, each of them alleging that Bill Clinton abused them. Trump had the audacity to „praise their courage.“

That same year, multiple women came forward speaking out against Trump. In response, Trump called them „horrible, horrible liars.“

Judge Kaplan clarified recently that the jury’s findings in the E Jean Carroll case align with the common understanding of rape. In other words, Trump was found by a jury to have raped E Jean Carroll.

Then there’s the case involving the plaintiff „Katie Johnson“, filed multiple times in 2016—all suspiciously dismissed.

The accuser was set to appear at a news conference later that year, but her attorney claimed that she had been receiving death threats and was too afraid to attend.

The case alleges that both Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein made the plaintiff into a „sex slave“ at the age of 13 and forced her to perform sexual and depraved acts.

Trump and Epstein had a friendly, social relationship starting in the late 80s. They were both prominent figures in Palm Beach, Florida, where they were often seen together at social events and parties. Photos and videos show the two together at Mar-a-Lago, laughing and ogling at women.

In an interview in 2002, Trump said of Epstein:

> “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

In 2005, police searched Epstein’s Palm Beach Mansion and found message books containing the names and numbers of high profile people, including Trump.

Virginia Guiffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, claimed that she was recruited into Epstein’s sex trafficking ring while working at Mar-a-Lago. Giuffre sadly died by suicide back in April.

Maria Farmer, another reported Epstein victim, went to police twice back in the 90s to complain about Epstein’s sexual abuse of girls and young women. She brought up Trump’s name both times, and not just because of his close relationship with Epstein, but also because of an alarming encounter she had with Trump at Epstein’s New York office:

> She told the authorities that late one night, Mr. Epstein unexpectedly called her to his offices in a luxury building in Manhattan, and she arrived in running shorts.

> Mr. Trump then arrived, wearing a business suit, and started to hover over her.

> Ms. Farmer said she recalled feeling scared as Mr. Trump stared at her bare legs. Then Mr. Epstein entered the room, and she recalled him saying to Mr. Trump: “No, no. She’s not here for you.”

It wasn’t until Epstein’s arrest and death in 2019 that Trump publicly stated that he wasn’t „a fan“ of Epstein.

After Ghislaine Maxwell’s arrest in 2020, Trump appeared to show sympathy for her at a press briefing:

> “I just wish her well, frankly. I’ve met her numerous times over the years, especially since I lived in Palm Beach, and I guess they lived in Palm Beach. But I wish her well, whatever it is.“

According to flight logs released during Maxwell’s trial, Trump has flown on the „Lolita Express“ at least seven times.

Then there’s Michael Wolff, a journalist who has interviewed Trump and had insider access to him and the White House.

Wolff claims that Trump once considered a pardon for Maxwell because he was worried that she might „spill secrets.“

Wolff obtained audio recordings in 2017 of Epstein claiming that Trump and Melania’s first sexual encounter took place aboard his private jet.

On his podcast, Fire and Fury, Wolff stated that Epstein once showed him several photographs of Trump at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, sitting around the pool with topless young girls, some reportedly sitting in Trump’s lap.

Wolff described Trump and Epstein as „joined at the hip“ for nearly 15 years. Both men have confirmed their close friendship together, they even shared the same women.

Trump wasn’t just a customer of Epstein… he was a business partner and made money with him trafficking girls for others. Hence trump has lots of dirt on people too.

Let the leaking begin

The DOJ bots mass downvoting this.

„Trump’s relationship with Epstein dates back to the 1980s and included regular appearances at social events in Palm Beach and New York. No law enforcement authorities have ever accused Trump of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.“

Women have enough. 

Marla Maples knows a lot I bet.  I can’t imagine the size of her paycheck.

“These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious.”

You mean *imply*, dipshit White House *communications director*. 

Hey look the president fucks kids.

Do not stop talking about this. Every single day.
