Mark Epstein, brother of the late Jeffrey Epstein, has released previously unseen photos and videos showing US President Donald Trump with the financier, reigniting scrutiny over their past relationship and the so-called Epstein list.

The materials, uncovered from archival sources, depict the two men at high-profile events in the 1990s, including Trump's 1993 wedding and a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion show.

The revelations come amid renewed controversy over the Justice Department's decision not to release long-awaited Epstein files, fuelling speculation and public outrage.

New Evidence of a Longstanding Association

The newly surfaced materials, provided by Mark Epstein to CNN's KFile, include photos from Trump's December 1993 wedding to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel, where Jeffrey Epstein is seen smiling among guests, including Howard Stern and Robin Leach.

Another set of images, captured by high-society photographer Dafydd Jones at the 1993 Harley Davidson Cafe opening, shows Trump and Epstein together, with Jones recalling, 'There was this guy who struck me — the way he was looking — and he gave me his card. It said: Jeffrey Epstein, financial advisor.'

Video footage from a 1999 Victoria's Secret event in New York further shows the pair laughing and chatting, marking their second documented appearance at such an event after a 1997 Angels party.

These materials, predating Epstein's 2005 legal troubles, highlight a relationship spanning the 1980s and 1990s, though no law enforcement has accused Trump of wrongdoing in connection to Epstein.

Public and Political Backlash

The release has intensified public and political focus on the Epstein list, a term referring to speculated records of Epstein's associates, which some in Trump's MAGA base expected to reveal bombshell revelations.

The Justice Department's 15 July 2025 memo, stating no evidence exists of a client list or Epstein's murder, has sparked fierce blowback.

X posts reflect the sentiment, with @ladyred1956 stating, 'CNN Drops NEVER BEFORE SEEN Photos/Video Of Trump and Epstein!' and @mcford77 noting, 'Drip drip drip,' suggesting ongoing revelations.

White House Communications Director Stephen Chung called the reports innocuous videos and pictures used to infer something nefarious.

Meanwhile, congressional pressure mounts, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie pushing a discharge petition to force the release of documents related to Epstein.

Allegations and Denials Amid Growing Tensions

The materials add context to Trump's past comments, including a 2002 New York Magazine quote in which he called Epstein a 'terrific guy' who liked beautiful women on the younger side.

A Wall Street Journal report on 17 July 2025 alleged a 2003 birthday letter to Epstein bore Trump's name and a drawing of a naked woman, which Trump denied, filing a libel lawsuit against the outlet.

Further complicating matters, Stacey Williams, a former Epstein associate, alleged on CNN on 20 July 2025 that Trump groped her in 1993, a claim he denies.

The Justice Department now plans to interview Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted associate. Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, told CNN, 'Ghislaine will always testify truthfully. We are grateful to President Trump for his commitment to uncovering the truth.'

As Mark Epstein's disclosures fuel debate, the absence of released files continues to stoke distrust, with the public and lawmakers demanding transparency.
