Melania Trump addresses Epstein rumors

In a surprise address from the White House, Melania Trump sought to distance herself from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has recently resurfaced in political discourse.

She characterized her past interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell as 'casual correspondence' and condemned what she called 'unfounded and baseless lies' regarding her ties to the financier.

While some survivors welcomed her call for transparency, others expressed concern that her statement shifts the burden of proof onto the victims.

President Trump stated that he was aware of her frustration but did not specifically recommend the timing of her remarks.
