CNN's Andrew Kaczynski and Em Steck uncovered more photos and video footage highlighting President Trump's past relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
First: The investigative journalists found photos of Epstein attending Trump's 1993 wedding to Marla Maples, noting "Epstein's attendance at the ceremony at the Plaza Hotel was not widely known until now."
Second: They found raw footage of Trump and Epstein laughing and talking at a 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion event.

What did Trump have to say about the reporting?: "In a brief call with CNN on Tuesday, President Trump, asked about the wedding photos, responded, 'You've got to be kidding me,' before repeatedly calling CNN 'fake news' and hanging up."
His communications director, Steven Cheung, gave CNN a statement claiming they were "out-of-context frame grabs." Cheung also reiterated that Trump "kicked [Epstein] out of his club for being a creep."

💡 Why this matters: These are not the first photos of Trump and Epstein together. But the trickle of new reports about Trump and Epstein's past relationship is forcing the White House to spend time explaining the dynamics. Trump sued The Wall Street Journal's parent company last week over the newspaper's reporting of an alleged birthday letter Trump sent Epstein in 2003.
