Melania Trump’s Epstein denial stirs questions about motive and timing
Melania Trump publicly denies any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, stating she and Donald Trump were invited to the same parties but she had no relationship; the statement, delivered as Washington focuses on the Iran situation, left reporters baffled about the motive and whether Trump knew in advance. The episode highlights ongoing scrutiny of Epstein’s circle, with past ties noted (she attended Epstein events, including at Mar-a-Lago) and a 2002 email exchange with Maxwell later referenced in reporting.
