Melania Trump Denies Epstein Ties, Demands Congress Act

Melania Trump Refutes Epstein Connections

Former First Lady Melania Trump has issued a strong denial of any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. In a statement, Trump clarified that any email exchanges with Maxwell were merely casual correspondence and not indicative of a deeper connection. She explicitly stated, “I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell.”

Trump further addressed claims that Epstein introduced her to her husband, Donald Trump. She stated this is false, explaining that she met her husband by chance at a New York City party in 1998. This initial meeting is detailed in her book, “Melania.”

Timeline of Encounters

According to Trump, her first encounter with Epstein occurred in the year 2000. This meeting took place at an event she attended with Donald Trump. At that time, she claims she had never met Epstein before and had no knowledge of his criminal activities. She emphasized that she was not introduced to Donald Trump by Epstein.

The former First Lady also addressed the spread of “fake images and statements” about her and Epstein on social media. She urged the public to be cautious about believing such content, calling these stories “completely false.”

Denial of Involvement and Victimhood

Melania Trump firmly stated that she is not a victim of Epstein and has never been involved in his crimes in any capacity. She clarified that her name has never appeared in any court documents, depositions, victim statements, or FBI interviews related to the Epstein investigation. She also denied having any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims.

Furthermore, Trump declared she was never on Epstein’s private plane nor visited his private island. She has never been legally accused or convicted of any crime connected to Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, or other alleged offenses.

Addressing “Smears” and Legal Action

Trump described the ongoing claims as “false smears” spread by “mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities.” She stated their goal is to damage her reputation, gain financially, and advance politically. She demanded that these actions must stop.

She highlighted that her legal team has successfully challenged these “unfound and baseless lies.” Several individuals and companies, including The Daily Beast, James Carville, and HarperCollins UK, have already been legally compelled to issue public apologies and retract false statements about her. Trump vowed to continue defending her reputation without hesitation.

Call for Congressional Action

Shifting focus beyond personal denials, Melania Trump called on Congress to take action regarding the Epstein case. She asserted that Epstein was not acting alone. Trump noted that several prominent executives resigned from their positions after the matter became highly politicized, though she cautioned this does not equate to guilt.

She urged for open and transparent efforts to uncover the truth. Specifically, Trump called for Congress to hold a public hearing focused on the women victimized by Epstein. She believes these survivors should have the opportunity to testify under oath before Congress. “Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes,” Trump stated, adding that their testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional record.

Trump concluded by stating that only through such a process will the truth be fully revealed. She expressed gratitude for the opportunity to share her statement.
