Melania Trump denies Jeffrey Epstein ties

In a move that reportedly blindsided West Wing staff, Melania Trump used the presidential seal to deliver a personal statement regarding the Epstein files.

The First Lady characterized claims of her involvement with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell as 'false smears' intended to damage her reputation.

She further advocated for survivors of sexual abuse to have a public platform to share their stories under oath.

This surprise intervention has revived national interest in the scandal just as the President sought to distance his administration from the matter.
