Donald Trump dismissed a request for comment with a straightforward six-word statement after newly uncovered photos and video footage were made public, revealing more information about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Trump claimed during his most recent presidential campaign that he would have “no problem” releasing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.
The president’s promise was partially fulfilled in February 2025 when Attorney General Pamela Bondi released the so-called “first phase” of declassified Epstein files; however, by July, Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) declared that it had found “no basis” to release more files. In its announcement earlier this month, the DOJ also claimed to have found “no incriminating” client list.
Some members of the public speculated that Trump was “hiding” information about Epstein because of the decision…
The search results indicate a complex and evolving situation regarding President Trump and the Jeffrey Epstein case, particularly with recent developments.
Key findings relevant to the user’s request:
- Resurfaced Photos/Videos: CNN and other outlets have recently (July 2025) uncovered and published “never-before-seen photos and video” from Trump’s 1993 wedding and a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event, showing Epstein clearly in attendance and interacting with Trump. These have “sparked outrage” and “raised renewed questions.”
- Trump’s Response:
- When asked about the wedding photos by CNN, Trump reportedly responded, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” then repeatedly called CNN “fake news” and hung up. This is not a “blunt 6-word statement.”
- His White House Communications Director, Steven Cheung, issued a statement saying: “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.”
- More broadly, Trump has “attempted to brush off attention on the case,” saying things like, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” and calling focus on Epstein a waste of time.
- He also recently elaborated on his falling out with Epstein, claiming it was because Epstein “stole” spa workers (young women) from Mar-a-Lago, and that he “threw him out of the place persona non-grata.” When asked if one of these was Virginia Giuffre (an Epstein accuser), he said, “I think she worked at the spa…I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her.”
- He denied sending a hand-drawn picture of a naked woman to Epstein, stating “I don’t draw pictures,” and is suing the Wall Street Journal over the report.
- He has also called the focus on Epstein “another Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax but, this time, under the guise of what we will call the Jeffrey Epstein SCAM.”
- There is no single “blunt 6-word statement” that resurfaced in response to these new photos. His responses are varied and often longer.
Conclusion:
I have ample information about resurfaced photos and Trump’s reaction. However, I do not have a specific “blunt 6-word statement.” I need to address this discrepancy directly in the article or caption. I can either:
- State that no such 6-word statement has been identified, but then detail his actual, albeit longer, responses to the resurfaced photos.
- Or, reframe the prompt slightly to focus on his blunt reactions, even if they aren’t exactly 6 words.
Given the user’s specific request for a “6-word statement,” it’s important to acknowledge if one isn’t present in the search results. I will choose to explain that while a specific 6-word statement hasn’t been found, he has made several blunt and defensive remarks.
Caption Ideas (adjusted):
- “Epstein Photos Resurface: Trump Fires Back With Forceful Denials”
- “New Epstein Photos Emerge, Sparking Blunt Trump Response”
I will go with the second option and clearly state that while a 6-word statement hasn’t been found, his responses are indeed blunt.## New Epstein Photos Emerge, Sparking Blunt Trump Response
WASHINGTON D.C. – Freshly uncovered photos and video footage depicting President Donald Trump’s past interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have recently resurfaced, igniting a renewed media frenzy and prompting a series of blunt, though not concisely six-word, responses from the President. The visuals are once again forcing the White House to address a controversial association the President has long sought to downplay.
The newly revealed material, brought to light by outlets like CNN, includes never-before-seen images from Trump’s 1993 wedding where Epstein was clearly in attendance, a fact previously not widely known. Additional footage from a 1999 Victoria’s Secret fashion event reportedly shows Trump and Epstein engaging in conversation and laughter. These archival discoveries are raising renewed questions about the extent and nature of their relationship prior to Epstein’s widely publicized legal troubles.
Upon the resurfacing of these visuals, President Trump did not issue a specific “blunt 6-word statement.” However, his reactions have been notably terse and defensive. When confronted directly about the wedding photos by CNN, the President reportedly retorted, “You’ve got to be kidding me,” before abruptly terminating the call and dismissing the outlet as “fake news.”
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung issued a more detailed, yet equally dismissive, statement: “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.”
More broadly, President Trump has attempted to brush off renewed attention on the Epstein case, stating in recent days, “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years,” and characterizing the ongoing focus as a waste of time. He has also vehemently denied sending any crude, hand-drawn pictures to Epstein, going so far as to initiate legal action against The Wall Street Journal over such reports.
The President has also recently provided new details about his falling out with Epstein, claiming their friendship ended because Epstein allegedly “stole” young female spa workers from his Mar-a-Lago resort. When directly asked if one of these individuals was Virginia Giuffre, a prominent Epstein accuser, Trump confirmed, “I think she worked at the spa…I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her.”
While the administration dismisses the resurfaced photos as a politically motivated distraction, their emergence continues to fuel scrutiny and force the President to engage with a past connection he has consistently worked to distance himself from.
