Melania Trump Denounces Epstein Links, Urges Congressional Hearings for Victims
First Lady Melania Trump has publicly refuted claims linking her to Jeffrey Epstein, calling them 'lies' and urging Congress to hold hearings for Epstein's victims. In a rare statement from the White House, she emphasized her lack of personal connection to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, despite attending the same social events. Trump called for a congressional forum where victims could testify under oath, aiming to have their stories permanently recorded. Her remarks diverge from the current administration's stance, which has sought to minimize the Epstein issue.
