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.

OK who had Melania actually does something useful / ethical / takes action against Trump on their Bingo card?

@fmtx @world Give it time, we don’t know much yet. I still got some money on “just as horrible”.

none of the above? it’s odd that she would randomly come out with this statement. they’re trying to get ahead of something here.

She’s not doing anything useful or ethical or taking action. she’s trying to protect her own ass for something that has yet to be revealed.

I seem to recall reading something about victims who were going to come forward with their stories. This is probably their way of trying to control the narrative.

She hasn’t done anything. She just said some stuff. Whatever she says is pretty irrelevant, unless its “I watched my weird orange husband rape a kid and heres proof”

That’s not at all what happened here.

Deflection and fake sympathy.

Melania doesn’t care about the survivors of her Husband’ or his friend Jeffery Epstein’s Rapes/Abuse/Murders.

theres nothing more supsicious about making a conference diddling kids, then making a CONFERENCE about “not diddling kids”.

Imagine starting a war to distract from your pedophilia, and fucking it up so badly you have to wheel out your bimbo wife to remind everyone about your sex crimes, to distract them from the war.

I’ve never met and been pictured a dozen times with someone not knowing them, unless they were my employer

She wants to put a target on the victims and run PR campaigns to show they are all liars and not credible.

The actual criminals are still hidden and safe.

I also bet someone recently tried to blackmail her and she’s just trying to get in front of it.

Maybe a fellow victim says she has proof melania helped Epstein.
