Unearthed archival photos and rare video footage capture Donald Trump sharing laughs and close moments with Jeffrey Epstein at exclusive 1990s events, casting an unexpected spotlight on their long-buried social bond.
Recently released materials from Epstein’s estate and archival reviews have brought renewed attention to the pair’s friendship in Palm Beach and New York high society. A 1992 NBC video from a Mar-a-Lago party shows Trump and Epstein chatting animatedly amid dancing guests, with Trump gesturing toward women on the floor. Another clip from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret event depicts them laughing together pre-runway.
Photos further illustrate their proximity: Epstein attended Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel, appearing in group shots with celebrities like Howard Stern. Images from the 1993 Harley Davidson Cafe opening in New York show Epstein near Trump and his children. A 1997 Victoria’s Secret party photo captures Trump speaking with a model while Epstein looks on.
In December 2025, House Democrats released dozens of photos from Epstein’s estate, including several featuring Trump—such as one with redacted women in Hawaiian leis (later identified as adult models) and others with Epstein. Justice Department disclosures included desk photos from Epstein’s home displaying Trump images alongside those of other figures.
Trump has acknowledged knowing Epstein as a Palm Beach fixture but distanced himself, banning him from Mar-a-Lago around 2007 after inappropriate behavior. He flew on Epstein’s plane multiple times in the 1990s, per flight logs, but no evidence suggests involvement in crimes, which surfaced later.
These visuals, predating Epstein’s 2008 conviction, reflect elite social circles rather than wrongdoing. Victims like Virginia Giuffre consistently exonerated Trump. Yet, amid ongoing file releases, they remind of Epstein’s vast network—and the distinction between association and complicity.
