First Lady Melania Trump denied any ties to Jeffrey Epstein in a rare White House statement, saying the claims are false and that Epstein did not introduce her to Donald Trump. She also called for a congressional hearing focused on Epstein survivors.

What she said

Melania said she “never had a relationship” with Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell and described any contact as casual. She added that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse and said the rumors about her were defaming her character.

Why it matters

The statement came as Epstein-related scrutiny has been building again, making her comments a significant public response rather than a routine denial. By addressing it directly from the White House, she turned the issue into a national political moment.
