"STOP the false smears" MELANIA TRUMP denies claims EPSTEIN introduced her to DONALD TRUMP (VIDEO)

Friday, April 10, 2026 - Melania Trump has launched an explosive tirade denying any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. 

The US First Lady held a press conference to dismiss accusations that she was involved with the p@edophile billionaire. 

She told reporters: "I am not Epstein’s victim, Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. I met my husband by chance at the New York City Party in 1998. This initial encounter with my husband is documented in a detail in my book, Melania. 

"The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000 at an event Donald and I attended together.

"At the time, I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings. 

"Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now. 

"Be cautious about what you believe. These images and stories are completely false.

"The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect.

“I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”

Reading a statement at the White House, she denied any association with Epstein and said, “My attorneys and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success.”

“Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes,” she said. 

“Then, and only then, we will have the truth.”

Melania described an email reply she sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, uncovered in the Epstein files, as “casual correspondence” without elaborating. 

“My polite reply to her email doesn’t amount to anything more than a trifle,” she said. 

The email in question shows Melania praising Ghislaine for her picture in NY Magazine article. The article became well-known because it included a quote from Donald Trump, who said that Epstein liked women “on the younger side.”

Addressing Maxwell as ‘G”, she wrote, "Dear G, How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture."

She then talked about his recent visit to Palm Beach and said that she can’t wait to visit there herself. 

“I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down,” she wrote. 

“Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania,” Melania added. 

In response to Melania’s email, Maxwell wrote back warmly, calling her “sweet pea,” explaining that her plans had changed and she was on her way back to New York.

“Sweet pea – thanks for your message. Actually, plans changed again, and I am now on my way back to NY,” she wrote. 

Maxwell further stated that she wouldn’t be able to catch up with her due to her busy schedule, but would try to call. 

“I leave again on Friday, so I still do not think I have time to see you, sadly. I will try and call, though,” she wrote.

During the press conference on Thursday, April 9, Melania added: "I’m not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein’s crimes.

"My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements or FBI in interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. 

“I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity.”

She added: “Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. Several prominent male executives resigned from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicised. 

"Of course, this doesn’t amount to guilt, but we still must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth.”

This is gobsmacking. Not only did Melania Trump suddenly decide to give a televised address about Jeffrey Epstein, she's calling on Congress to "act," because Epstein was "not alone." So she just threw a giant stick of political dynamite on the issue her husband despises! pic.twitter.com/DUi2qAupoZ
