A new element in the enigmatic relationship between Epstein and Trump has resurfaced, taking us all the way back to 1993.
The case that won't go away
While Donald Trump denies having been close to fallen financier and convicted pedocriminal Jeffrey Epstein, he finds himself embroiled in a scandal involving documents and links to Epstein.
Exclusive photos
A new element in the enigmatic relationship between Epstein and Trump resurfaces, as CNN reveals exclusive videos and photos showing them together at several events, including Trump's second wedding.
Troubling links
The discovery sheds further light on the troubling links between the two men, just as the administration seeks to close the case of an individual implicated in some of the biggest conspiracies of the last decade, including among Donald Trump's supporters.
The wedding ceremony
Among the photos made public, Epstein is seen arriving at the wedding ceremony of Donald Trump and Marla Maples, held at the Plaza Hotel in 1993. Another image from the event, featuring radio star Howard Stern, shows Epstein in the background.
Eric and Ivanka
Another photo captures Donald Trump chatting with Epstein, in the presence of two of his children, Eric and Ivanka, at the opening of the Harley Davidson Cafe in New York in 1993.
Another Victoria's Secret event
CNN also released a video from 1999 showing Trump and Epstein attending a Victoria's Secret event. Two years earlier, according to CNN, they attended another fashion show of the same brand, this one more publicized and already revealed to the public. Epstein was in the company of Ghislaine Maxwell and Melania Trump, then Knavs, whom Trump married in 2005.
His own statements
While Trump now claims not to have been close to Epstein, these new revelations lend weight to his own statements from 2002, when he said he had known Epstein "for 15 years" and called him a "great guy". This contradiction fuels much speculation about what he might be trying to conceal about the true nature of their past relationship.
