The full picture of Trump’s Epstein relationship is emerging. He can’t escape undamaged
More and more information is coming out showing that Donald Trump may have had a closer relationship with Jeffrey Epstein than he has admitted. Even though Trump keeps trying to shut the story down, new photos, videos, and reports keep surfacing.
CNN recently found pictures of Epstein at Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, and video from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion show where the two were seen chatting and laughing. Trump’s media team dismissed the footage, saying it was just clips taken out of context from public events to make them look worse than they were.
But these appearances aren’t isolated. Trump and Epstein were seen together at several events in the 1990s and early 2000s. In one photo from 2000, Trump appears alongside Epstein, Melania (then his girlfriend), and Ghislaine Maxwell at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Back then, Trump even told a magazine that Epstein was a “terrific guy,” and said they both liked beautiful women—especially young ones.
Years later, when Epstein was arrested in 2019 for sex trafficking of minors, Trump claimed he hadn’t spoken to him in 15 years and said he wasn’t a fan. But the growing amount of evidence suggests their relationship might have been closer and lasted longer than Trump now admits.
Author Michael Wolff, who has written multiple books about Trump, says Epstein once considered Trump his closest friend. Wolff claims to have hours of recorded interviews with Epstein, in which they spoke about women, money, and even sharing a girlfriend for almost a year. Trump’s team responded with insults, calling Wolff a liar and mentally unstable.
Recently, The Wall Street Journal published claims that Trump sent Epstein a birthday message that read: “Happy Birthday – and may every day be another wonderful secret.” Trump denied writing the note and said he would sue the newspaper and its owner, Rupert Murdoch.
Despite the denial, Trump’s name has reportedly appeared several times in official Justice Department documents related to the Epstein case. The White House says these are just more lies created by Democrats and left-leaning media.
Meanwhile, some Republican leaders seem to be helping Trump avoid further questions. House Speaker Mike Johnson recently sent Congress on break before a scheduled vote that could have forced the release of more Epstein-related files.
Trump once promised his supporters that he would make all Epstein case files public. Many of his followers are still waiting for him to follow through. The Department of Justice has said it’s open to releasing some witness testimony and even wants to question Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving 20 years in prison for helping Epstein.
Trump is now facing one of the biggest crises of his presidency. What he does next may shape not only his future but the future of his political party. Supporters are demanding answers, and the truth hidden in those files could have serious consequences—if they ever come to light. So far, Trump has managed to delay the release. But it’s unclear how much longer he can keep it from the public.
