Trump fires back with blunt 6-word statement after Epstein photos resurface

That President Donald trump and disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein were friends in the past is a well-known fact, but recently resurfaced photos of the two ‘buddies’ offer further insight into their relationship.

During the presidential campaign, Trump promised the public he would release files related to convicted sex offender Epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial in federal prison, if he takes office for the second time. So, when Trump indeed returned to the White House for his second presidential term, he fulfilled his promise, but only partially.

Namely, Attorney General Pamela Bondi released what was described as the ‘first phase’ of declassified Epstein files in February 2025, but later on, the Department of Justice claimed there was ‘no basis’ to release further files, with the FBI claiming there was no ‘client list’ or any indications that Epstein used such client list to blackmail prominent individuals.

This decision led to speculations that Trump could be ‘hiding’ details about the late financial advisor.

Now, photos from Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples in 1993 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City emerged, showing Epstein being in attendance. Another photo, taken in 1999, show Trump and Epstein standing together and chatting during a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York.

Dafydd Jones, the photographer who covered Trump’s wedding to Maples, told CNN he ‘must have recognized’ Epstein at the event, having previously photographed him and Trump together at the Harley Davidson Café in New York in October 1993.

“I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” Jones said in an interview with the CNN. “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.”

 

The photos, released by CNN, added fuel to the fire and provoked immediate reaction from the president.

CNN contacted Trump for comment, but he accused them of ‘fake news’ and responded saying, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before cutting the call short.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a statement later in the day, writing, “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 had also been photographed together on several occasions from the 80’s to the mid 2000’s.
