Former First Lady Melania Trump Issues Strong Denial of Jeffrey Epstein Association
White House Statement Addresses Allegations
In a notable public address from the White House, former First Lady Melania Trump has categorically denied any relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, labeling such claims as “untrue.” The statement, read by Mrs. Trump, aimed to definitively end what she described as “falsehoods” linking her to the disgraced financier.
Limited Contact with Maxwell, Call for Congressional Hearings
Mrs. Trump, wife of former President Donald Trump, clarified that her interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted accomplice, were limited to occasional contact. Furthermore, she took the opportunity to call upon the U.S. Congress to hold public hearings for victims of Epstein’s crimes.
Refusal to Engage with Reporters
During her address, Mrs. Trump read from a prepared statement and declined to answer questions from the assembled journalists. She explicitly stated, “I am not a victim of Epstein,” in response to what she characterized as slanderous accusations. Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving a prison sentence for her role in Epstein’s criminal enterprise.
Context of Accusations
The former First Lady’s statement comes amid broader discussions in the United States concerning the Epstein case and its peripheral figures.
