Melania Trump Denies Epstein Ties
In an extraordinary public statement from the Grand Foyer, Melania Trump explicitly denied being a victim or a close associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
She refuted long-standing conspiracy theories suggesting Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, describing her past contact with Ghislaine Maxwell as merely casual.
The First Lady attacked the media for what she termed mean-spirited attempts to defame her reputation during a period of record-low favorability ratings.
Additionally, she urged Congress to provide an official platform for Epstein’s victims to share their stories on Capitol Hill.
