A newly surfaced recording has raised questions over how Melania first met Donald Trump, with allegations suggesting Jeffrey Epstein — not model agent Paolo Zampolli — made the introduction. The claim, which has not been verified, was reportedly made by former Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro in a recording shared on a now-deleted social media post.
According to The Daily Beast, the claims directly challenge long-standing accounts of how then future US first lady Melania Trump met Donald Trump at a party in 1998. For decades, that version of events has centred on Zampolli, a modelling agent who has publicly described himself as the matchmaker at the event.
