Newly surfaced photos have revealed a surprising guest at Donald Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples—none other than Jeffrey Epstein.
The images, obtained by CNN, show the now-disgraced financier attending the lavish ceremony held at the Plaza Hotel in New York. One photo captures Epstein casually strolling through the hotel lobby, while another shows him unintentionally photobombing a group shot featuring radio host Howard Stern and TV personality Robin Leach.
In another striking image, Epstein is seen standing alongside Trump and a young Ivanka Trump. The collection also includes footage from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion show, where Trump and Epstein appear to be enjoying each other's company—chatting and laughing with Melania by Trump’s side.
In response to the release of these visuals, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement to CNN, downplaying the connection. "These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous events, twisted to suggest something sinister," Cheung said. "The President removed Epstein from his club years ago for inappropriate behavior."
Cheung added that the attention on these old images is part of "another baseless smear campaign from the Democrats and liberal media," comparing it to what he described as the discredited Russiagate investigation.
Trump’s past association with Epstein has resurfaced in the public eye following renewed interest in the so-called “Epstein files”—a trove of documents tied to the late financier’s criminal dealings and social connections. According to sources, Trump’s name does appear multiple times in those records, though no direct evidence of criminal involvement has emerged.
It’s worth noting that Trump and Epstein’s ties reportedly ended well before Epstein’s first indictment in 2006, when he was accused of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution in Florida.
As for Epstein’s fate, his story infamously ended behind bars in a Manhattan federal detention center—a controversial chapter that continues to fuel public speculation to this day.
