Donald Trump claims he was ‘blindsided’ by Melania Trump’s Epstein statement. But no one is buying the story

Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, publicly expressed her skepticism on regarding claims from Donald Trump that he was completely unaware of the first lady’s plans to address her past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. It is quite a bold claim, and Grisham made it clear she isn’t buying it.

Trump told MS NOW that he did not know anything about Melania Trump’s statement, a development that a reporter for the outlet shared on X. Grisham, who served as the first lady’s chief of staff, noted that she found the suggestion of total ignorance implausible. Per The Hill, she argued that at the very least, Melania would have provided a heads-up. Grisham stated that she called BS on the president, claiming he knew nothing about the situation.
