In 2016, a lawyer for the Trump Organization claimed that Trump and Epstein weren't friends, and that they "did not socialize together." But photos and video clips of the two partying together at Mar-a-Lago surfaced after Epstein's arrest in June, followed by his death by apparent suicide in August.
Along with two photos taken of Epstein, Trump, and their partners on February 12, 2000 and a photo taken there in 1997, NBC News released video footage taken at a 1992 party at Mar-a-Lago, featuring Trump, Epstein, and many women – some of whom were NFL cheerleaders.

The 1992 footage was shot for Faith Daniels' talk show "A Closer Look," after the host said Trump delivered an uninvited kiss on the lips in front of the paparazzi and her husband.
Daniels then booked Trump for a segment on his life after his most recent divorce, and the NBC crew followed him to the Mar-a-Lago party that Trump, apparently, had invited Epstein to. In the clip, Epstein and Trump chat, Trump tells the financier a joke, which makes him turn aside with laughter, and they watch Trump's female guests dance.
