Donald Trump brushed off a request for comment with a blunt six-word response after newly uncovered photos and video footage offered further insight to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

During his most recent run for president, Trump indicated he would have ‘no problem’ with releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein if he made it into office.

The president somewhat followed through on his promise when Attorney General Pamela Bondi released what was described as the ‘first phase’ of declassified Epstein files in February 2025, but fast-forward to July and Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) declared it had found ‘no basis’ to release further files.

In its statement released earlier this month, the DOJ added that it had also found ‘no incriminating “client list”‘.

The decision not to release further files prompted speculation from some members of the public that Trump was ‘hiding’ details about Epstein, with the president only adding fuel to the fire when he was questioned by one reporter and responded: “Are people still talking about this guy? This creep? That is unbelievable.”

Trump has since shared plans to release grand jury materials related to Epstein, but he sought to shut down the conversation about him and the disgraced financier again after being questioned about images taken in 1993.

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

Footage appears to show Trump and Epstein laughing and chatting together at a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York.

The photographer from Trump’s 1993 wedding, Dafydd Jones, told CNN he ‘must have recognized’ Epstein at Trump’s wedding after previously meeting the financial advisor when he photographed him and Trump at the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York in October 1993.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” he said in new 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 contacted for comment about the wedding photos, Trump accused CNN of ‘fake news’ and hit back with a six-word response, saying: “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

In a slightly longer statement, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung commented: “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 have been connected since the 1980s and are known to have attended many of the same social events. In the mid-2000s, the pair are said to have had a falling-out over a high-profile real estate deal in Palm Beach.
