The Clinton Presidential Library is preparing to release behind-the-scenes photos of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump meeting with former President Bill Clinton more than a decade and a half ago.

The official White House photos were taken in June 2000 during a visit Clinton paid to Trump Tower for a political fundraiser and in September of that year at the U.S. Open Tennis Championships in Flushing Meadows.

According to the Clinton Library, which is run by the National Archives, aides to Clinton and President Barack Obama were sent notices on Tuesday about the planned release in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The photos are expected to be made public in September, unless Clinton or Obama object to the disclosure, which is unlikely.

The notices don't specify how many photos of Trump are at issue. A total of 555 photos were processed in response to the request, of which 496 are expected to be published. However, the Archives' procedures result in them processing all the photos on the contact sheets involved, even if many of the pictures don't depict Trump.

The release of the photos could undercut some of Trump's sharper attacks on likely Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her husband by highlighting how Trump hobnobbed with people he now portrays as crooked and morally depraved. However, there are already other photos of Trump and one or both Clintons in the public domain, including a photo taken at Trump's wedding to Melania and another taken at a golf tournament.

The June 16, 2000, fundraiser at a 52nd floor Trump Tower apartment of LaDane Williamson was for Rep. Ed Towns (D-N.Y.), who said in an interview Thursday that he recalls Trump showing up at the event and conversing at length with Bill Clinton, even as donors grew impatient.

"I remember one thing that was very negative for me: I promised the people they'd be able to take pictures with President Clinton, and Donald Trump came and monopolized all of the time," Towns said. "Donald had him in the corner and tied him up I'll never forget that moment."

Trump eventually left but later returned and began talking with Clinton again, recalled American Urban Radio Network White House reporter April Ryan.

"Trump had [Clinton] hogtied for a while," said Ryan, who is Towns' cousin and was on hand for the event.

In April, the Clinton Library released a batch of email records, memos and social invitations involving Trump. The material showed that aides to Clinton and Vice President Al Gore tracked Trump's flirtation with a presidential bid in the 2000 cycle.

Trump was asked at the June 2000 fundraiser whether he regretted not jumping into the presidential race, according to the New York Daily News.

"No, I'm very happy," the real estate mogul said, according to the paper.

Archives officials said in April that photos and videos of Trump were not searched for at that time because the request submitted by a BuzzFeed reporter sought only documents about Trump.

It's unclear whose request led to the photo release planned for September, but POLITICO asked that the audiovisual collections be searched for images of Trump.
