?DW Fact check: Fake The video is not authentic. DW Fact check investigation indicates it was created by animating a genuine photograph using artificial intelligence tools and digitally inserting minors who were not present in the original image. A reverse image search of key frames links the footage to a real photographfrom 1997, showing Trump and Epstein at a Victoria’s Secret fashion event in New York, accompanied by model Ingrid Seynhaeve. No children appear in the original photo. Multiple indicators of AI manipulation are visible in the video. These include unnaturally smooth skin textures, inconsistent facial expressions and, and physics-defying body movements. For example, the faces of several little girls jumping up and down in the video look disproportionately small compared with the hands of a man clapping behind them. This example is one of several viral posts that combine authentic archival footage with fabricated or manipulated elements. Another viral clip circulating on X and TikTok, appears to show Trump and Epstein socializing near young girls. However, the footage has been digitally manipulated. It recreates segments of authentic video released by NBC News. This footage is an altered version of an authentic 1992 NBC News video showing Trump and Epstein at Mar-a-Lago. In the real footage, no children are present. The girls in the altered version appear to be entirely AI-generated.

A short video circulating on X, Instagram, TikTok and other platforms claims to show a young Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein at a party surrounded by minors. For example, one post on X, received more than 1.2 million views, shared the video with the caption: "Global lectures, darkest secrets." Versions of the same clip are also circulating on Instagram, TikTok and other platforms.
