She explained herself further, adding: “I am not a victim of Epstein, Epstein did not introduce me to him.” Donald Trump,” she said, emphasizing that she met the president organically when they started dating.
Melania, 55, did not finish speaking after her announcement, simply turning around and quickly walking away from the podium as the doors slammed shut behind her.

Citing the “numerous fake images and stories” about him circulating online, he urged people to “be careful what you believe” and stressed that he had “no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims” and was “not involved in any capacity.”

Melania also called: “It is now time for Congress to act; Epstein was not alone; many prominent male executives have resigned from positions of power following the widespread politicization of this issue.
