Melania Trump made a bombshell statement on Thursday where the first lady, out of the blue, denied any ties to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Not long after, President Donald Trump made a bombshell claim about his wife.

On Thursday, First Lady Melania Trump, out of the blue, made an on-camera statement from the White House. Speaking from the White House Cross Hall, Melania shockingly declared she wasn’t a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, nor an accomplice.

She further urged Congress to hold public hearings with victims to expose the late convicted sex trafficker.

“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” Melania said. “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. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, [Ghislaine] Maxwell.”

The first lady continued, “I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane and never visited his private island.”

She concluded, “Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone.”
