Newly uncovered photos and video footage published by CNN show more links between the notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, including Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza hotel in New York in 1993.

The media organization said on Wednesday that Epstein’s attendance at the wedding ceremony was not widely known.

CNN also published footage from 1999 of Trump and Epstein attending a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York, where they are seen talking and laughing alongside Trump’s future wife, Melania Trump.

When asked for comment by CNN on the newly unearthed videos and photos, Trump reportedly responded: “You’ve got to be kidding me.” He then reportedly called CNN “fake news” and hung up the phone.

lol

I honestly don't know if that's a joke quote or an actual quote. Trump is just absurd

Trump fucked kids.

Yes, but who cares. Sacrifice a few kids to keep white in power is a good deal for many I assume. This just has been human ritual for thousands of years.

Resounding not to you, but to the void. I mean, really, who cares? Is purity politics. A pedophile slipped into a cannibalistic system. Not much new there. We going to get a big sigh of relief when the fucking predator gets out of the white house, he'll be replaced, and he wendigo will keep feeding.

Give up silently somewhere else.

The rest of you, keep up the heat.

The endless amount of publicly available internet photos aren't enough for you?

If America doesn't know ... then they are just that dumb

If America does now ... then they are dumb and dangerous at the same time

Regardless of however you want to frame the story ... America just comes out as a country of very, very stupid people

I'm saying this in a non-accusatory way, but Canada needs to watch their own selves. You guys are being targeted in the same ways and it's working. Don't be smug like us and think it won't happen in your neck of the woods.

This isn't at all about proving anything, the association alone is enough to change some opinions of the man. Believe it or not, there's a segment of Trump loyalists who are just waking up to the fact that Trump and Epstein were best friends. Let's make sure they don't forget

There's not going to be a smoking gun...they convicted my dumbass uncle on my testimony alone (maybe more, I dunno, I was 8). But the point is, sexual assault isn't filmed generally. If you're waiting to see a video of him fucking children, it likely doesn't exist. The burden of proof for child rape shouldn't be that high anyway. Kids don't make that shit up.

The fact that we are here waiting for a damn video of him to come out just shows how fucked the situation is, and how low we've sunk as a society.. People who aren't famous often go to prison for this shit on testimony alone from a few different people. You keep waiting for that "smoking gun" my dude.

It's interesting that Epstein always seems to know where the camera is and is giving a creepy look directly into the lense, even when he's clearly not the subject of the photo. I legit think he would have made me uncomfortable before knowing what I now know about him.
