The First Lady has spoken! On late Thursday afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump made a public address where she denied having any connections to Jeffrey Epstein. In her remarks, Melania shared that she never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Melania’s remarks come as several left-leaning outlets have attempted to connect her to the disgraced financier. CNN reported more on Melania’s Remarks: First lady Melania Trump blasted “lies linking me to the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein” in remarks from the White House Thursday, attempting to distance herself from the convicted sex offender while calling on Congress to hold hearings allowing his victims to testify on Capitol Hill. “I have never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach,” the first lady said in remarks to reporters. “To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, [Ghislaine] Maxwell.” Melania Trump called on Congress to provide a forum for Epstein’s victims to testify on Capitol Hill. “I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors, give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony,” she said. “Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public, if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the congressional record.” She later in her speech called out The Daily Beast, James Carville, and Harper Collins for smearing her.
