Melania Trump's Epstein statement lampooned

The First Lady’s decision to publicly distance herself from the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has raised questions about her timing and motivation.

In her statement, she clarified the circumstances of her first meeting with Donald Trump, insisting that Epstein played no role in their introduction.

Critics and late-night comedians have noted that the statement may have inadvertently drawn more attention to a 'niche' conspiracy theory.

On 'SNL,' cast member Chloe Fineman portrayed Melania in a sketch that mocked the 'insane' nature of the announcement and its potential to fuel further suspicion.
