Melania Trump Denies Epstein Ties
In a surprise five-minute address from the Grand Foyer, Melania Trump categorically denied any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
The First Lady characterized the allegations as "baseless lies" and "mean-spirited smears" intended to defame her reputation.
She specifically refuted claims that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, asserting that her attorneys have successfully fought these unfounded stories.
The statement has prompted a mix of bafflement from White House officials and bipartisan support for her call for transparency regarding Epstein's victims.
