Melania Trump says ‘I am not Epstein’s victim’ in stunning public address

First lady Melania Trump on Thursday made a rare public statement — saying she wanted to address “lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein.”

‘I am not Epstein’s victim,” the first lady told reporters. “Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.”

Melania Trump said that fake images and bogus stories were circulating alleging otherwise.

“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 said.
