Melania Trump

Right.

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 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.

Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating... Yeah, by the way, all right, we don't have to watch this whole thing.

Yeah.

First Lady Melania Trump made a rare and surprising public statement denying ties to Epstein and calling on Congress to allow victims to testify.

Her name appears in the latest tranche of documents published at the end of January.

In an interview with The New York Times, Trump said it didn't bother him, and he, quote, Trump said his wife was particularly upset about theories that Epstein introduced her to the future president.

During her own earlier remarks, the First Lady said she met Trump at a party and did not encounter Epstein until two years later at an event she attended with Trump.

I never been friends with Epstein.

Donald and I were invited to the same parties.

My email that applied to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence.
