Melania Trump says rumours linking her to Epstein ‘need to stop’

First Lady Melania Trump Urges End to Epstein Rumors

During a visit to the White House, Melania Trump addressed ongoing speculation about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, asserting that such claims “must cease immediately.” She emphasized her distance from the allegations, stating she had “no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse” and “was never involved in any capacity.” The former first lady dismissed rumors that Epstein had introduced her to Donald Trump as “mean-spirited attempts to harm her reputation.”

Call for Congressional Testimony

In an unexpected move, Trump urged lawmakers to hold public hearings for survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking network. “Each woman deserves the chance to share her story under oath,” she said, stressing the importance of sworn testimony in uncovering the full truth. She added that these accounts should be “permanently recorded in the Congressional Record” to ensure transparency.

“We will only have the truth once every survivor is given the opportunity to speak in front of Congress,” she argued.

The timing of her remarks remains unclear, with no explicit reason provided for the sudden focus on the issue. Despite the scrutiny, Trump maintained she had not been “victimized” by Epstein. Her comments followed a series of conspiracy theories linking her to the financier, which she now insists should be put to rest.
