First Lady Melania Trump has denied connections to Jeffrey Epstein, telling reporters at the White House that any claims linking the two “need to end today”.
In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking.
She also denied online rumours that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, calling them “mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation”.
It is unclear what prompted the announcement.
More than a dozen Epstein survivors signed onto a joint letter on Thursday responding to First Lady Melania Trump’s remarks calling on Congress to let them testify.
“Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice,” the letter says.
It continued, accusing the first lady of “shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power: the Department of Justice, law enforcement, prosecutors, and the Trump Administration, which has still not fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.”
“It also diverts attention from Pam Bondi, who must answer for withheld files and the exposure of survivors’ identities. Those failures continue to put lives at risk while shielding enablers,” the letter continues. “Survivors have done their part. Now it’s time for those in power to do theirs.”
Nope, no ties whatsoever.

It is unclear what reputation she’s talking about.
Reputation is important to the First Escort.
Yeah but she literally has no reputation. I didn’t even know her name until Trumps first term. Her entire resume is just ‘married to Don’ under the ‘other skills’ section.
It is unclear what prompted the announcement.
Maybe something that is just about to be leaked/announced/shared? One can hope.
I would be shocked to learn that she was essentially a prostitute trafficked to Trump through Jeffrey Epstein. She and Trump seem to have a real connection, despite neither bothering to learn the other’s language during 21 years of marriage.

I wouldn’t be at all shocked. But it could have been J-L Brunel who trafficked her, and not Epstein.
My impression of her denial was that it was carefully crafted to be true in some pedantic way, while skirting around the more important points. Like it might come out that, though Epstein was standing right there, it was actually Ghislaine who introduced Melanoma to Trump, even if it was Epstein’s idea. The “our eyes locked across a crowded room” is improbable, unless she’d been primed with some speculation about Trump’s net worth.
What a fascinatingly strange thing - she’s trying to get ahead of something?
She dated Epstein before he handed her to Trump. This has been known for many years now. With those idiots it’s impossible to know what their game is.
Big if true. Do you have a source for that? Not arguing against it. Genuinely curious.
Micheal Wolff wrote about it and is now suing Trumps over those claims. He claims:
Among the statements the lawsuit said were true were those saying Melania Trump was “very involved” in Epstein’s social circle, where she met her future husband, and that Donald Trump liked to have sex with his friend’s wives and first slept with Melania Trump on Epstein’s private jet.
But is it really that big? We know Epstein and Trump traded women (remember the picture with big check saying that Trump bought some woman from Epstein?[1]), that both of them run model agencies working with underage girls [2] and that Trump met Melania while Trump and Epstein were friends[3]. So what’s big here? Melania obviously got involved with them through some “modeling” job. She was one of them women either Trump or Epstein groomed and used. Is it really such a big difference which one used her first?

This is called a prebuttal
Trump thought his “little” Iran stunt would burry the epstein business, only to be backstabbed by his own wife. Very nice.
His people likely wrote the statement she read to the media
His people and her people are different people for sure.
Did they though?
If it doesn’t talk about Trump, front and center, I’m sure he didn’t clear it.
