Video shows Trump partying with Epstein at Mar-a-Lago
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA new video surfaces showing US President Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein and a bevy of cheerleaders at the Mar-a-Lago club, despite Trump’s claims he barely knew the financier accused of assaulting underage women.
NBC News says it found the 1992 video from Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, club in its archives, showing the real estate tycoon welcoming Epstein to the party and appearing to discuss women dancing to music in front of them.
Trump is seen dancing with the women, cheerleaders for the Buffalo Bills professional football team, and, at one point, pointing to one and apparently saying to Epstein, “she’s hot.”

The video was filmed for an NBC talk show at the time, “A Closer Look,” for an episode about the lifestyle of Trump, who at the time was newly divorced from his first wife Ivana Trump and a year from marrying his second, Marla Maples.
Trump’s predilection for parties with attractive women at the time is well-known, and none of the women in the Mar-a-Lago video appear to be underage.
