Donald Trump’s decades-old ties to Jeffrey Epstein are making headlines once again—this time thanks to newly surfaced photos and videos showing Epstein at Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples.
The never-before-seen images, obtained by CNN, show the disgraced financier casually walking through the Plaza Hotel lobby during the December 1993 event. One striking image even captures Epstein photobombing a group shot of Howard Stern and Robin Leach—a moment frozen in time but now loaded with controversy.
???? Epstein Photobombs Celebrity Guests at Trump’s Wedding
In one image, Epstein’s face looms in the background as Stern and Leach pose for a cheerful group picture. Another shot shows Epstein standing just feet from a young Ivanka Trump, alongside her father.
While it’s unclear how prominent Epstein’s presence was at the wedding itself, the images confirm that he received an invitation to the high-profile affair.
???? Old Video Shows Trump and Epstein Laughing Together
CNN also shared unearthed video footage from 1999, showing Trump and Epstein chatting and laughing together at a Victoria’s Secret fashion show in New York City. The clip shows the two men appearing at ease, standing next to a then-Melania Knauss (later Melania Trump).
Another resurfaced video places them at a George Foreman boxing match, seemingly palling around years before Epstein’s first arrest in 2006 for soliciting an underage victim for prostitution.

In response to the renewed focus, White House communications director Steven Cheung issued a sharp statement to CNN:
“These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous events to disgustingly infer something nefarious. The fact is that The President kicked him out of his club for being a creep.”
Cheung added,
“This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media, just like the Russiagate scandal, which President Trump was right about.”
???? Trump’s Name in Epstein Files
Trump’s relationship with Epstein has come under fresh scrutiny amid the release of the Epstein files, which reportedly mention Trump’s name multiple times. However, sources say the documents contain no allegations implicating Trump in any wrongdoing.
???? Worth noting: Trump and Epstein’s interactions predate Epstein’s first indictment in 2006.
As for Epstein, the financier died in a Manhattan federal detention center in 2019 under circumstances that continue to fuel conspiracy theories.

Trump has publicly distanced himself from Epstein in recent years, stating that he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning of “creepy behavior.” But with these photos and videos resurfacing, critics and supporters alike are debating the significance of their long-ago interactions.
