Unearthed Ties: CNN Exposes Trump’s Overlooked Connection to Jeffrey Epstein

 

CNN Uncovers Never-Before-Seen Photos and Footage Linking Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

CNN’s investigative unit, KFile, has revealed new archival footage and photographs that shed fresh light on the long-rumored relationship between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Among the discoveries is previously unreported evidence that Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples—an event not widely known to have included the now-notorious financier.

In addition to wedding photos, CNN found video footage from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York City, where Trump and Epstein can be seen laughing and conversing casually. The footage adds new dimension to their public association, which Trump has downplayed in recent years.

The Victoria’s Secret connection is particularly notable because the brand was owned at the time by Les Wexner, a billionaire businessman reported by Bloomberg to have been Epstein’s earliest and most influential financial client. Wexner gave Epstein sweeping financial authority, including power of attorney, as documented by The New York Times. Over time, Epstein acquired multiple properties once owned by Wexner or his companies, including a Manhattan mansion and an estate in Ohio valued collectively at over $100 million.

Photographer Dafydd Jones, who captured images of Trump and Epstein at a Harley-Davidson Café event and again at Trump’s wedding, told CNN he now regrets not documenting more of their interactions at the time. “I wish now I took more of him with Trump,” he admitted.

Trump reportedly became hostile when CNN reached out for comment. According to the network, he responded with disbelief and ended the call. His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, dismissed the findings as “out-of-context frame grabs” and repeated claims that Trump distanced himself from Epstein years ago, even banning him from Mar-a-Lago.

However, The Washington Post has previously reported that any falling-out between the two men may have stemmed not from moral concerns but from a dispute over a Palm Beach real estate deal.

These revelations come amid renewed public scrutiny over the still-sealed Epstein documents and the network of individuals who associated with him. Elon Musk recently alleged that Trump’s name appears in the still-unreleased Epstein files—raising new questions about transparency and accountability.

Whether or not these new findings will lead to further investigation remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the public deserves answers. If there's nothing to hide, then the full records—including the Epstein client list—should be released.
