Summary

Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, in an official statement released on Thursday, rejected the claims about her connection with Jeffrey Epstein and said that she had never had any friendship or relationship with him.

She clarified that Jeffrey Epstein played no role in her meeting with Donald Trump, and these claims are baseless. She also emphasized that she had no kind of relationship with either Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, and her email response to Maxwell was merely a regular correspondence.

The First Lady further explained that her attendance at some parties where Epstein was also present was due to the overlap of social circles in New York and Palm Beach, and it did not imply any personal relationship.

She also added that her acquaintance with Donald Trump occurred accidentally in 1998 in New York, and this is documented in her book “Melania.”

Melania Trump stated that she first encountered Jeffrey Epstein at a joint event in the year 2000 and had no knowledge of his criminal activities at that time.

Finally, she described the publication of images and stories related to her and Epstein on social media as completely false and urged the audience to exercise caution and care when dealing with such content.
