Melania Trump delivered a formal statement at the White House on Thursday, categorically denying any involvement in the criminal activities of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The First Lady asserted that she was never a participant in Epstein's actions and had no knowledge of his abuse of victims. The statement follows the release of Department of Justice documents, including a 2002 email from the First Lady to Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump characterized the correspondence as "casual" and "trivial," asserting that the note does not indicate a deeper relationship or any knowledge of criminal undertakings. Trump clarified that her first encounter with Epstein occurred in 2000 while accompanying Donald Trump. She further emphasized that she has never been named as a witness or participant in court documents, FBI interviews, or victim statements surrounding the Epstein matter. While the statement has no direct financial implications, it has gained immediate bipartisan support in Congress. Representatives Nancy Mace and Robert Garcia endorsed her call for public hearings specifically centered on the survivors of Epstein's abuse to ensure the truth is brought to light.
