Last week, we reported that Melania Trump had issued a statement in which she denied having ties to the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Whoopi Goldberg, whose own name popped up in the Epstein files, is firing back by attacking Melania over this statement.
Whoopi Attacks Melania
“The Iran War knocked the Epstein files out of the headlines for like a couple of minutes, until the First Lady brought them back with her surprise statement last week, where she denied that Epstein introduced her to You Know Who, and said that she has no knowledge of Epstein and [Ghislane] Maxwell’s crimes,” Whoopi said on The View this week.
Whoopi’s co-host Ana Navarro chimed in to say that Melania’s statement was “counterproductive” because, “If her objective was to close down any rumors about her, all she did was open up Pandora’s box.”
Ana went on to talk about Melania’s past participation in Donald Trump’s “birtherism” conspiracies about Barack Obama.
“If she wants to be an ally and champion to those Epstein survivors, she can start by inviting them to the White House and meeting with them and listening to their stories,” Ana continued. “She can start by turning to the guy next to her, Donald Trump, and telling him to tell his DOJ to release all the files.”
Their co-host Sunny Hostin was quick to agree. She called on Melania to testify before the House of Representatives’ Oversight Committee like Bill and Hillary Clinton did.
“She must know something, and for her to say she said that she and her attorneys are fighting back against unfound and baseless lies in regards to her connections to Epstein, then what are those lies? What are those accusations? Tell us more,” Sunny concluded.

Melania Denies Epstein Ties
While speaking from the White House, Melania was adamant that she never had any ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
“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 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.”

Since Whoopi’s own name is in the Epstein files multiple times, perhaps she should have thought twice before attacking Melania about this. In the end, we’ll believe Melania over Whoopi any day of the week.
God bless you, Melania Trump!
