A photo claiming to show a young girl with U.S. President Donald Trump and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein resurfaced on social media in July 2025, amid renewed scrutiny of Trump's past ties to Epstein.
"?? One picture says it all: Trump, Epstein, and the company they kept," one X user captioned (archived) the photograph on July 21, 2025.

The image has appeared over the years on multiple social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook and Reddit, as well as Chinese-language websites.
But we found the image contained numerous signs it was generated using artificial intelligence. For instance, the girl's left hand seemed to be deformed, along with the left sleeve of Trump's jacket.

Via a reverse-image search, we found a full-size version of the viral image shared on Quora.

In the original version of the image we spotted more indications the photograph was created artificially. For instance, the faces of people in the background were deformed, Trump had only one leg and Epstein seemed to be dissolving into the couch.

Given that the in-question photograph was created using AI software, we have rated it as fake.
We've fact-checked other Epstein- and Trump-related claims, including debunking a supposed photo of the men on a plane. In July 2023, we investigated another AI-generated image, allegedly showing Trump and Epstein posing with underage girls. That said, some viral photos of the pair together are genuine. Take this 1997 photograph, for instance, that was taken at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
