New photos of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein attending Donald Trump’s second wedding ceremony have been found in a week already marred in controversy for the president.

The pictures from 1993 show Epstein attending Trump’s wedding to Marla Maples at the famous Plaza Hotel in New York.

Other footage of Trump and Epstein laughing together at a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion show was also uncovered by CNN.

When approached for comment regarding the new footage of him with Epstein, Trump told reporters: ‘You’re kidding me.’

He later dubbed it ‘fake news’, despite previous documentation of him rubbing shoulders with Epstein.

In a statement, the White House said: ‘These are nothing more than out-of-context frame grabs of innocuous videos and pictures of widely attended events to disgustingly infer something nefarious.

‘The fact is that the President kicked him out of his club for being a creep. This is nothing more than a continuation of the fake news stories concocted by the Democrats and the liberal media.’

The newly released photos come on the heels of a tumultuous few weeks for the Trump administration, which has been slammed for its handling of the Epstein Files release.

For years, Trump told his supporters he would release Epstein’s alleged client list, which reportedly contained high-level celebrities and politicians.

Now his administration has claimed no such list exists, sparking furore and allegations of a cover-up on a grand scale.

Trump dismissed further calls to release the records as ‘pretty boring’, adding that ‘credible information has been given’.

He told reporters: ‘I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.’

The situation has raised more questions than answers, and the issue isn’t going away as easily as Trump had hoped.

The elephant in the room of the recent Epstein files chaos is Maxwell – Epstein’s ‘right hand woman’ for years of the sex trafficking.

She’s currently serving 20 years in prison for sex trafficking, but has been brought up again as Republicans search for answers about the lack of transparency with the files.

This week, her family came forward and claimed she didn’t receive a fair trial due to the public’s appetite for justice after Epstein died.

Yesterday, the US Department of Justice said they plan to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell in the coming days after it was revealed she could testify before Congress on Epstein’s apparent full client list.

Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi shared a statement from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reading: ‘This Department of Justice does not shy away from uncomfortable truths, nor from the responsibility to pursue justice wherever the facts may lead.’

Referencing the Epstein files, Blanche added: ‘President Trump has told us to release all credible evidence. If Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.’
