Photos from 1993 show Jeffrey Epstein attending Trump's wedding amid scrutiny over ties
In a surprising revelation, newly discovered photographs and videos shed spotlight on the longstanding ties between US President Donald Trump and deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as the latter is seen attending the former's wedding to Marla Maples in 1993, CNN reported. Not only this, the duo could be seen laughing and chatting with each other, CNN reported citing a footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event in New York. A review of archival video of Trump at events in the 1990s and 2000s by CNN's KFile helped uncover the raw footage of the event. The revelations come amid increased scrutiny over the relationship between Trump and Epstein as the former's base of Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters expressed furore over the release of Epstein files, while criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi for her stance against the same, and for staying away from transparency in the matter. A letter sent by the White House Communications Director Steven Cheung to CNN stated, '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,' the letter read. Photographer at Trump's wedding Trump and Epstein is believed to have met around 1990, which entailed regular interactions between them in Palm Beach and New York. According to a report by NBC News in 2019, footage of a party showed Trump socializing with Epstein in 1992. In October 1993, photographer Dafydd Jones took photos at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York, capturing Trump and Epstein together. Just two months later, in December that year, Jones was assigned by a media organization to photograph Trump's wedding. One of the photographs he took then was that of Epstein entering the event, CNN described. Another photograph accessed by CNN showed Epstein smiling in the background — his head just visible between other guests who were posing for a group picture. LIFE's collection of photos of Trump's wedding are available online over Google Images and Shutterstock, and a CNN review found multiple photographs with Epstein. Duo at fashion events and private jets The duo could also be seen in photographs dated back to 1999, as per the CNN report. Before this, they were spotted then at a Victoria's Secret 'Angels' party in Manhattan in 1997. Epstein's presence at the party reflects his ties with the founder of the lingerie company Leslie H. Wexner, a billionaire businessman who handed Epstein sweeping power over his finances, philanthropy and private life within years of meeting him, the New York Times highlighted. BREAKING! Holy crap! CNN just released exclusive new video of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein hanging out at the 1999 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, as well as images of Epstein at Trump's second wedding. No wonder why Trump is trying to deflect with Obama claims — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) July 22, 2025 Describing his association with Epstein, Trump, in 2002, told the New York magazine, 'I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy.' Over four years in the 1990s, Trump flew on Epstein's Boeing 727 at least seven times, largely traveling between Palm Beach and a private airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, just outside New York, the NYT mentioned. Scrutiny over ties between Trump and Epstein Trump and Epstein went separate ways after a falling-out around 2004, taking significantly different paths — one toward jail and suicide, the other towards the White House. In 2019, Epstein was arrested and charged with federal sex-trafficking offenses, after prosecutors accused him of engaging in sex with teenage girls between 2002 and 2005. The offender killed himself in New York jail in August 2019 while awaiting trial. While his death has ruled a suicide, a wave of conspiracy theories emerged due to his well-documented connections to famous and powerful public figures. Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with the Epstein case, and has so far stood by his statement that he had 'no idea' that Epstein was abusing young women. The US President, who is facing growing backlash over suspicions that his administration is shielding powerful names tied to the convicted sex offender, insisted he supports releasing any 'credible' information, The Indian Express reported. Last week, Trump, sued the publishers of the Wall Street Journal and its owners, including Rupert Murdoch seeking $10 billion in damages over a report about a collection of letters gifted to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003, which had a note bearing President Donald Trump's name and a sexually suggestive drawing.

Jeffrey Epstein Spotted In Trump's 1993 Wedding Pics. White House Replies
Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein attended US President Donald Trump and Marla Maples's wedding ceremony in 1993 at the Plaza Hotel in New York, new photos and video footage show. The photos, reviewed by CNN, have Epstein in the background among guests, including media personality Howard Stern, his then-wife Alison Stern, reporter Robin Leach, and model Cecilia Nord. Until now, Epstein's presence at the high-profile event had not been widely known. NEW via CNN / @KFILE: Newly uncovered archived video footage and photos reveal fresh details about Donald Trump's past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Photos from 1993 confirm for the first time that Epstein attended Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples. In addition,… — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) July 22, 2025 Photographer Dafydd Jones, assigned to cover the wedding, captured one of the few images of Epstein at the event. "I must have recognised him going in," Jones told CNN, adding the image was from a contact sheet, as the negatives were lost. "I wish now I took more of him with Trump," he said. Newly released video footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion show also has Trump and Epstein laughing and talking ahead of the event. According to CNN, the pair appeared together in at least one other archived video from the 1990s. They were also photographed at a 1997 Victoria's Secret Angels party. BREAKING! Holy crap! CNN just released exclusive new video of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein hanging out at the 1999 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, as well as images of Epstein at Trump's second wedding. No wonder why Trump is trying to deflect with Obama claims — Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) July 22, 2025 Epstein managed billionaire Leslie Wexner's finances between 1987 and 2007. Wexner, the founder of Victoria's Secret's parent company, has said he was unaware of Epstein's crimes during their time together. "You've got to be kidding me," Trump said when CNN called asking about the wedding photos. Trump then reportedly hung up and called CNN "fake news." White House Communications Director Steven Cheung called the footage and photos "nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media." Trump and Epstein's relationship reportedly dates back to the 1980s and included several appearances at social events in Palm Beach and New York. Ex-model Stacey Williams, a former girlfriend of Epstein, said earlier, " They were best friends," referring to Epstein and Trump. "They were very close, and they were up to no good." In 2000, images from a Palm Beach Post event show Trump with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew at Mar-a-Lago. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The Wall Street Journal recently reported on a birthday card allegedly sent by Trump for Epstein's 50th birthday in 2003. The card reportedly featured a sketch of a naked woman and a typed note that read, "Happy Birthday, and may every day be another wonderful secret." Trump has denied writing the note or making the card and has sued WSJ for $10 million for publishing the story.

Dunne said she decided to do the split because she wanted to show off her personality. 'I decided right after the rehearsal … I was talking with my sister – I was consulting with only people I knew would agree with me. I was like, 'Should I do a split?' And they were like, '… Yeah. Just go for it.' So, I asked the head lady (SI editor MJ Day) and she was like, 'Honestly, just have fun with it because this is not an ordinary runway …' And I kinda think dropping into a split would be fun and show my athleticism. And I don't think I've ever seen anybody do it,' Dunne said. 'When watching a fashion show like Sports Illustrated, (people) wanna see personality, they wanna see movement, they wanna see you having the time of your life, because it really was in the moment. It was so fun. And yeah, I oiled myself up and dropped into a split … It was so much fun,' she continued. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

Orlando Bloom's Full Dating History Is Truly One for the Pop Culture History Books
Orlando Bloom is single and ready to mingle (with Sydney Sweeney, potentially), which means the time has come to take a stroll through his dating history. This man has been famous since the early aughts, but please be advised that his relationship with Katy Perry—while his longest—isn't his only A-list love story. Here's everyone Orly has dated, both definitely and allegedly. These two were in a super low key relationship for several years before eventually parting ways. Though, not so low key that their rep didn't issue a formal statement during their breakup! As they put it to People, "They did decide to take some time apart due to their upcoming work schedule, and they remain very close. It was a mutual decision." Kate spoke about the relationship to Vogue (via the Daily Mail), saying "Orlando and I met when we were kids. Blue Crush hadn't come out. Lord of the Rings hadn't come out. He was the first big heartbreak. First love—you feel like it's the be-all and end-all. To put as little pressure on the relationship you're in is very important. I regret that it was too intense for both of us." This was just a rumored hookup, but E! News did speak to a source who said they were spotted getting cozy at Orlando's 30th birthday party. Per an eye witness "He couldn't keep his hands off of her. He would just keep grabbing her and kissing her. It was very sweet." Anyway, here's a pic of Orlando and Penélope in 2007 (with Leonardo DiCaprio, randomly). Orlando and Miranda met in late 2007 and got engaged in June 2010. They married just one month later in July, and in August Miranda revealed that she was pregnant. The couple welcomed their son Flynn in January 2011 and parted ways two years later—in Fall 2013. Orlando's rep issued a statement at the time, saying "Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family." For what it's worth, they seem to get along great as co-parents! Katy and Orlando got flirty at the 2016 Golden Globes party and started dating shortly after. Proof: But alas, they split a year later in February 2017 and their reps issued a joint statement to People, saying "Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time." For what it's worth, Katy made it clear that things were amicable: Gonna rewind real fast. Before Katy and Orlando split in 2017, multiple outlets reported that Selena and Orlando had hooked up to make Miranda Kerr and Justin Bieber jealous after they were spotted flirting at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. But Katy called the reports "conspiracy theories" and posted this: Which Sel retweeted: There were brief reports that Orlando was dating Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev in 2017, though a People source said "It's super casual." So casual, in fact, that things fully fizzled out and everyone forgot about it. Here's a blurry pic of them out and about with friends that month, though! Katy and Orly got back together in early 2018, and by March a source told People that "They are dating but not necessarily putting a label on it. They are not girlfriend and boyfriend. They do seem very happy together though." The pair ended up getting engaged on Valentine's Day 2019... ...and then Katy announced that she was pregnant in March 2020. She and Orlando went on to welcome their daughter Daisy Dove! Things kept trucking along until 2025, when Orlando and Katy hit a rough patch. Their last public appearance together was at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March: After weeks of speculation, Us Weekly finally confirmed their split in June, speaking to a source who said "Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable. It's not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life." The insider added that the breakup was "a long time coming" since things "have been tense for months," and they've been "living apart since Katy has been on tour." That brings us up to date, but stay tuned... You Might Also Like Here's What NOT to Wear to a Wedding Meet the Laziest, Easiest Acne Routine You'll Ever Try
