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.

      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.

              Any new photo showing their close ties contributes to more people seeing more photos. Seeing them together. In different situations. It helps cement the fact, that they were buddies, in people’s minds.

              For us, it’s a waste of time. We already see the obvious. There’s nothing new there.

              But for his followers, each new photo should hit differently and harder. At least i hope it does.
