Donald Trump and Bill Clinton photos to be released by Clinton Library
In a few months, the Clinton Presidential Library will release photos of President Bill Clinton and presumptive GOP nominee dating back to the summer of 2000.
In response to a Freedom of Information Request by Buzzfeed for photos of Donald Trump, the National Archives is publishing hundreds of photos on Sept. 9. This was first reported by Politico. There were 555 images that were considered "responsive total to the case," an archivist told CBS News in an email. Fifty-nine images were restricted under exemptions granted by FOIA, so 496 will be released.
The photos will show then-President Clinton "greeting and talking with others at Trump Towers [SIC] in New York, NY on June 16, 2000; President Clinton attending the U.S. Open Tennis matches in Flushing, NY on September 8, 2000; and President Clinton greeting Donald Trump and family in a stadium suite during the tennis event," according to the National Archives.

Photos besides the ones showing the former president with Trump will also be published, including Clinton greeting personnel at Trump Tower, and Clinton greeting people and watching the U.S. Open, because they were on the same rolls of film.
There are also photos of Trump and Clinton that have been widely published already, from years after Clinton's presidency. The one shown most frequently depicts the Clintons attending Trump's wedding to his third wife, Melania. There are also photos of Trump and Bill Clinton at the Trump National Golf Club in 2008.
