Melania Trump denies Epstein ties

The statement comes as the Justice Department continues to release millions of files related to Epstein’s sex-trafficking network.

Melania Trump characterized her past interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell as 'casual correspondence' and slammed 'baseless lies' linking her to the financier.

House Oversight Chair James Comer has since committed to holding hearings, aligning with the first lady's request.

However, some survivors have criticized the move as a distraction that shifts the burden of proof onto those who were abused.
