Melania Trump Addresses Epstein Rumors
First Lady Melania Trump has publicly denied any association with Jeffrey Epstein, urging that all claims connecting her to the convicted sex offender "need to end today." Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, she made a surprise call for congressional hearings dedicated to survivors of Epstein's sex trafficking.
She refuted online rumors suggesting that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, describing such allegations as
"mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation". The motivation behind her announcement remains unclear.
Furthermore, Melania Trump stated she was not a victim of Epstein's abuse. She emphasized her lack of involvement or knowledge regarding Epstein's criminal activities, saying
"I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant."
