Fact check: Were there any other high-profile figures who attended events with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump after 2005?

Checked on August 3, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, there is limited information about other high-profile figures attending events with Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump specifically after 2005. The sources consistently indicate that Trump and Epstein's relationship was most active before 2005, with multiple documented events during the 1990s and early 2000s [1] [2].

The analyses reveal that Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell were present at a party with Trump and Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 [2], demonstrating that other high-profile figures did attend events with them, but this occurred before the 2005 timeframe specified in the question. One source mentions that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump his name appeared in documents related to the Epstein case alongside several other high-profile figures, but does not provide specific details about these individuals or their attendance at events after 2005 [3].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The analyses reveal significant missing context regarding the timeline of Trump and Epstein's relationship. Multiple sources indicate that Trump and Epstein had a falling out that occurred around 2005 or earlier [4] [5] [6], which would explain the lack of documented joint events after this date. Trump claimed their falling out was over spa workers at Mar-a-Lago, specifically mentioning that Epstein "stole" young women from the spa, including Virginia Giuffre [6].

The question focuses on post-2005 events, but the sources show the most documented interactions occurred during the 1990s and early 2000s, including:

  • A 1997 Victoria's Secret party [1] [2]
  • A 1999 Victoria's Secret fashion show [1]
  • Trump's 1993 wedding [1]
  • Trump frequently flying on Epstein's private jets between 1993 and 1997 [2]

Ghislaine Maxwell is mentioned as Epstein's associate who was involved in recruiting young women for his sex trafficking operation and may have information about other individuals involved [7], suggesting there were likely other high-profile connections that remain undisclosed.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains an implicit assumption that there were high-profile figures attending events with both Epstein and Trump after 2005, when the evidence suggests their relationship had already deteriorated by that time. The question's framing may inadvertently mislead by focusing on a period when their documented interactions had largely ceased.

The timing specification of "after 2005" appears to miss the most relevant period of their documented association, which occurred primarily in the 1990s and early 2000s [1] [2]. This could benefit those seeking to minimize scrutiny of the earlier, more extensively documented period of their relationship, or conversely, those seeking to maximize speculation about undocumented later interactions.

The question also doesn't acknowledge that Trump has publicly stated he had a falling out with Epstein, which multiple sources reference as occurring around the mid-2000s timeframe [4] [5] [6].
