CNN obtains footage of Epstein attending Trump's 1993 wedding
ALBAWABA - As calls for the release of the notorious Epstein files increase, American outlet CNN recently shed light on new footage showcasing US President Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in the past. The new footage reveals that Jeffrey Epstein attended President Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, sparking debate on social media since the report was not known until CNN's exclusive coverage. Epstein appeared in two photos associated with Trump's 1993 wedding: one of him passing through a hallway, and another of him photobombing a picture including American host and media personality Howard Stern and British entertainment reporter and writer Robin Leach. CNN reveals new footage of Trump's relationship with Epstein A message calling on President Donald Trump to release all files related to Jeffrey Epstein is projected onto the US Chamber of Commerce building across from the White House in Washington, DC, on July 18, 2025. (Photo by Alex WROBLEWSKI / AFP) CNN also obtained another photo captured in 1993 featuring Trump and his two children (including Ivana, who was nearly 12 at the time) alongside Epstein celebrating the opening of the Harley-Davidson cafe in New York. Additionally, the report in question also revealed footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event in New York, which captured Trump laughing together with Epstein. Reports about Jeffrey Epstein were reignited by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after they revealed that he committed suicide during his prison sentence and didn't have a client list for his notorious island. In addition to its official claims, the DOJ released a video that captured Esptein in his cell alone during the night he died, revealing no foul play or an external factor. However, the closure of years of speculation, conspiracy theories, and political tensions didn't sit well with many individuals, sparking more debate and rumors on social media. Calls for the release of the Epstein files have also increased tremendously after Trump took to Truth Social, urging his fans and followers to stop the speculations in question.
