Melania Trump is firing back and defending herself against “lies” linking her to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
First Lady Shuts Down Epstein Rumors
Melania, 55, read out a rare on-camera statement from the White House on Thursday. In it, she condemned Epstein and denied having any ties to him.
“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,” Melania said. “I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”
“I [have] never been friends with Epstein,” the First Lady continued. “Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time. Since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach.”
Melania went on to reference multiple named accusers who have apologized for linking her to Epstein.
“To date, several individuals and companies have been legally obligated to publicly apologize and retract their lies about me, such as The Daily Beast, James Carville and Harper Collins, UK,” Melania said. “The false smears about me from mean-spirited and politically motivated individuals and entities looking to cause damage to my good name, to gain financially and climb politically, must stop. My attorneys and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success, and will continue to maintain my sound reputation without hesitation.”
‘I Am Not Epstein’s Victim…’
Melania also said that she met Epstein in 2000, two years after she met her husband.
“I am not Epstein’s victim,” Melania emphasized. “Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at a New York City party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in a detail in my book ‘Melania.’ The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000 at an event Donald and I attended together. At the time, I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings.”
Melania then warned Americans about “fake images” on social media related to her and Epstein.
“Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating on social media for years now,” Melania stated. “Be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories are completely false.”
Melania ended her statement by calling on Congress to act on Epstein’s circle. Indeed, she said that “each and every woman” should have her moment to share testimony.
“I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors,” she concluded. “Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional Record.”

Melania’s Senior Advisor Speaks Out
Melania’s senior advisor Marc Beckman has since spoken out to reveal exactly why Melania decided to make this statement.
“First Lady Melania Trump spoke out now because enough is enough. The lies must stop,” he told The New York Post. “It is time for the public and media to focus on her incredible achievements as First Lady, the lives she has positively impacted, and her commitment to our nation.”
Watch Beckman talk more about this in the video below.
Epstein allegedly committed suicide in prison in 2019. At the time of his death, he was awaiting trial on various disturbing sex crime charges.
Melania is constantly the target of hateful attacks from the left. We applaud her for speaking out to put rumors that she had links to the late billionaire pedophile Epstein to rest once and for all. In the end, it’s clear that while many powerful people were close to Epstein, Melania was not one of them.
God bless you, Melania Trump!
