“I am not Epstein’s victim” Melania Trump says after reports claim the late ped0phile introduced her to husband Donald Trump
Melania Trump has strongly denied any involvement or association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, dismissing circulating claims linking her to his crimes as false and defamatory.
In a statement delivered at a press briefing, Melania said she had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activities and rejected suggestions that she was connected to him in any capacity. She clarified that her first meeting with her husband, Donald Trump, occurred in 1998 in New York, and that she only encountered Epstein years later at a public event.
She also addressed claims circulating on social media, insisting that manipulated images and fabricated stories about her relationship with Epstein were untrue and intended to damage her reputation.
“My attorneys and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success,” she said, adding that she has never been a witness, subject, or person of interest in any investigation related to Epstein.
Melania further stated that her name has not appeared in court documents, FBI interviews, or victim testimonies connected to the case, stressing that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of victims.
She also commented on renewed public interest in the case, urging transparency and accountability, and called for Congress to continue investigations into all individuals involved.
The First Lady described a previously reported email exchange with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell as “casual correspondence,” saying it had been misrepresented.
She maintained that she was never involved in any wrongdoing and called for an end to what she described as attempts to defame her character.
