First Lady Melania Trump has denied connections to Jeffrey Epstein, telling reporters at the White House that any claims linking the two “need to end today”.

In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking.

She also denied online rumours that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, calling them “mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation”.

It is unclear what prompted the announcement.

      Micheal Wolff wrote about it and is now suing Trumps over those claims. He claims:

      Among the statements the lawsuit said were true were those saying Melania Trump was “very involved” in Epstein’s social circle, where she met her future husband, and that Donald Trump liked to have sex with his friend’s wives and first slept with Melania Trump on Epstein’s private jet.

      But is it really that big? We know Epstein and Trump traded women (remember the picture with big check saying that Trump bought some woman from Epstein?[1]), that both of them run model agencies working with underage girls [2] and that Trump met Melania while Trump and Epstein were friends[3]. So what’s big here? Melania obviously got involved with them through some “modeling” job. She was one of them women either Trump or Epstein groomed and used. Is it really such a big difference which one used her first?
