But, like, for the first time, you see on a major issue, open opposition from the start of this war.

I'm Ested Herndon, and welcome to America Actually.

Your guess is as good as mine.

I think, okay, I'm going to take it from a journalistic perspective and then from a legal perspective.

From a journalistic perspective.

Okay, fine.

A fun perspective is that Melania Trump just blew up the administration's narrative on Epstein.

That's the fun perspective.

No, it's absolutely bonkers.

But I will say, I mean... All right, go ahead.

Okay, I'll be a little responsible.

Number one, is she responding to a story that's coming out soon?

Right?

Like, is that why we're doing this now?

Number two, no press conference happens at the White House without the president knowing.

So Donald Trump's little thing of like, I had no idea Melania was going to give this... Bullshit.

Okay, like, he knew.

Maybe he didn't know exactly what the statement said, but he knew it was about Epstein and he knew she was going to give a press conference.

Let's dispel the notion.

Number three, I actually think this is a bit of a poison pill for survivors, what Melania is trying to do.
