On Thursday, First Lady Melania Trump addressed longstanding claims, stating she never knew Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell personally, describing a 2002 email as casual, and confirming no records link her to his crimes, plane, or island.
She highlighted her legal team’s wins against false stories from outlets like The Daily Beast and figures like James Carville. Trump urged Congress to hold public hearings for Epstein’s survivors to testify under oath and establish the truth, noting he was not alone in his actions.
The statement aired live on networks like Fox News and C-SPAN, drawing praise from supporters and skepticism from critics about its timing.
