Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, has categorically denied claims linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. In a recent statement, she labelled these allegations as “lies” and stressed the necessity for such speculation to cease immediately. She asserts that the allegations have no basis in reality and are damaging to her reputation.

Her remarks come amidst a surge of online chatter regarding her connections to Epstein, a convicted sex offender, which she deems to be baseless rumours proliferating on social media platforms and in various reports. The First Lady aims to dispel these claims and protect her public image.

Clarification of Relationships and Encounters

In her statement, Melania Trump clarifies that she has never been friends with Epstein, although she and her husband, Donald Trump, occasionally attended the same social events as Epstein. She explains that crossovers in social circles are typical in New York City and Palm Beach. Importantly, she states that she never had any personal relationship with Epstein or his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

She elaborates on a specific email exchange with Maxwell, characterising it merely as casual correspondence that should not be construed as anything significant. Melania maintains that she is not a victim of Epstein and insists that she did not meet Donald Trump through Epstein, clarifying that their first encounter took place at a party in 1998.

The First Lady also mentions that the first time she encountered Epstein was in 2000, when both she and her husband attended an event together. She reiterates her ignorance about Epstein’s illegal activities at that time.

Call for Accountability and Victims’ Rights

Melania Trump further urges caution regarding the misinformation surrounding her and Epstein, declaring the circulating images and narratives to be entirely fabricated. She asserts that her name has never been linked to any legal proceedings related to Epstein and that she has not been involved in any of his criminal activities.

Moreover, she maintains that she has never faced any legal accusations concerning Epstein’s abuse, asserting her innocence in relation to any allegations about sex trafficking or other criminal behaviour. Melania insists that malicious efforts to damage her reputation must come to an end, particularly those stemming from politically motivated individuals seeking personal gain.

In her closing remarks, Melania Trump calls upon Congress to provide a platform for women victimised by Epstein. She emphasises the importance of public hearings where survivors can testify under oath, allowing their stories to be officially recorded in the Congressional Record. This, she argues, is essential to uncovering the truth about the matter.
