Melania Trump Denies Relationship with Epstein, Calls for Survivor Testimonies
First Lady Melania Trump has publicly denied having any friendship or relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a statement, she called on Congress to hold a public hearing for survivors of Epstein's abuse to testify under oath. This comes amid scrutiny over her past email correspondence with Maxwell, which she described as casual. The call for a hearing is significant given President Trump's past association with Epstein, which has been a point of controversy. The Trump administration has faced criticism for its handling of the Epstein files, with accusations of protecting powerful individuals while exposing survivors' identities.
