Newly uncovered photos and video footage published by CNN show more links between the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> and Donald Trump, including Epstein\u2019s attendance at Trump\u2019s wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza hotel in New York in 1993.<\/p>\n

The media organization said<\/a> on Wednesday that Epstein\u2019s attendance at the wedding ceremony was not widely known.<\/p>\n

CNN also published footage from 1999 of Trump and Epstein attending a Victoria\u2019s Secret fashion event in New York, where they are seen <\/strong>talking and laughing alongside Trump\u2019s future wife, Melania Trump.<\/p>\n

The outlet <\/strong>noted that the newly published material <\/strong>pre-dates any of Epstein\u2019s known legal troubles.<\/p>\n

CNN also published<\/a> photos of <\/strong>Trump and Epstein at the 1993 opening of the Harley-Davidson Cafe in New York, where Trump is seen with his arm around two of his children, Eric and Ivanka, while Epstein stands beside them.<\/p>\n

When asked for comment by CNN on the newly unearthed videos and photos, Trump reportedly responded: \u201cYou\u2019ve got to be kidding me.\u201d He then reportedly called CNN \u201cfake news\u201d and hung up the phone.<\/p>\n

Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, said in a statement to CNN that the videos and photos were \u201cnothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep,\u201d Cheung added. \u201cThis is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.\u201d<\/p>\n

The renewed scrutiny of Trump and Epstein\u2019s relationship comes after the justice department announced earlier this month that it would not be releasing <\/a>any additional files related to the Epstein case, despite previous promises from Trump and the US attorney general, Pam Bondi<\/a>. The decision angered<\/a> many people, including some Trump supporters and other conservative commentators.<\/p>\n

Before falling out over a real estate deal in Palm Beach<\/a> in the mid-2000s, Trump and Epstein were pictured together at social events on multiple occasions over the years. Footage of Trump and Epstein at a party in 1992 published by NBC<\/a> has been widely circulated over the years, and photos published by the Palm Beach Post<\/a> also show Trump, Epstein, the Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew at a charity fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago in 2000.<\/p>\n

Two<\/a> photos<\/a> from Getty Images also show Trump and Epstein at a 1997 Victoria\u2019s Secret Angels party<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n

In a 2002 New York magazine<\/a> profile of Epstein, Trump was quoted saying: \u201cI\u2019ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy \u2026 He\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the New York Times<\/a>, Trump flew on Epstein\u2019s jets at least seven times over four years in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

In the new CNN<\/a> report on Wednesday, the outlet also reports that in Trump\u2019s 2004 book \u2013 Trump: How to Get Rich \u2013 he referenced receiving <\/a>a call from a man he called \u201cthe mysterious Jeffrey\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if the \u201cmysterious Jeffrey\u201d is Epstein and CNN said that the White House did not address it in a comment.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump allegedly sent Epstein a birthday card in 2003<\/a> for his 50th birthday, that reportedly featured a drawing of a naked woman and a message that said in part: \u201cHappy Birthday \u2013 and may every day be another wonderful secret.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump denied authoring the card and has since sued the Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the Trump administration asked a federal court to unseal grand jury <\/a>transcripts related to the Epstein case. And this week it was reported that the justice department is meeting with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Newly uncovered photos and video footage published by CNN show more links between the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285669,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-285668","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
