Victims of Jeffrey Epstein have criticized First Lady Melania Trump's recent comments distancing herself from the convicted offender. The remarks were made during a speech at the White House.
Survivors' Statement
A statement from 15 survivors expressed disapproval of asking them to provide sworn testimony, calling it a deflection of responsibility. They highlighted issues with former attorney general Pam Bondi over withheld files and exposed identities.
Melania's Comments on Epstein
During her speech, Melania Trump denied allegations that she met Donald Trump through Epstein, stating she was never involved in any abuses. She also urged for an end to false rumors about her connection to Epstein.
President Donald Trump mentioned that Bondi was leaving her role as attorney general for a private sector job, though reports suggested it was due to dissatisfaction with her performance.
The first lady rejected claims of familiarity with Epstein and downplayed correspondence with his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, labeling rumors and images about her as entirely false.
Donald Trump supported his wife's statements, asserting Melania had no knowledge of or connection to Epstein.
