Melania Trump rejects claims of relationship with Jeffrey Epstein

In a public statement, First Lady Melania Trump dismissed allegations connecting her to Jeffrey Epstein as “lies” on Thursday.

She clarified that any interaction with the disgraced financier was merely the result of shared social circles in New York. The First Lady emphasized that Epstein played no role in her introduction to Donald Trump, stating they met “by chance” at a party in 1998. According to Melania, she did not meet Epstein until 2000 and was entirely unaware of his illegal activities. She further noted that she never traveled on his private aircraft or visited his island.
