First Lady Melania Trump publicly rejected any connection to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, declaring, “I am not Epstein’s victim,” during a White House appearance.
In her remarks, she forcefully denied claims linking her to Epstein’s crimes and said she had no knowledge of any abuse tied to him. She also rejected assertions that Epstein played any role in introducing her to President Donald Trump.
Melania Trump acknowledged that she and her husband moved in similar social circles as Epstein during the 1990s and early 2000s but insisted there was no personal relationship. She said she was never involved with Epstein in any capacity and had no awareness of his criminal conduct.
She also addressed past interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell, confirming that a previously reported email exchange was authentic but describing it as routine and insignificant correspondence.
The First Lady criticized what she described as false reports and manipulated images circulating online, arguing they have contributed to misinformation about her past.
In a notable move, she called on Congress to hold public hearings centered on Epstein’s victims, urging lawmakers to give survivors the opportunity to testify under oath and have their accounts formally recorded.
Her comments come as the administration has sought to move past renewed attention on the Epstein case, which has continued to generate political and legal scrutiny.
Litigation tied to reporting on her alleged connections to Epstein is ongoing, including disputes with author Michael Wolff over claims she has strongly denied.
Melania Trump concluded by emphasizing that any focus should shift toward the victims, calling for a public process that she said would bring greater transparency and accountability.
