First Lady Melania Trump delivered an unexpected address from the White House on Thursday to firmly distance herself from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The 55-year-old strongly denied any association with the disgraced financier and rejected claims regarding her knowledge of his crimes.
Her sudden public defence follows serious allegations from journalist Michael Wolff, who claimed Epstein introduced her to President Donald Trump. While the administration had hoped to leave the controversy behind, this intervention has returned the scandal to public attention.
