When Donald Trump suddenly launched his war against Iran, some wondered if it was a diversion to overshadow the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. So when Melania Trump, the president’s wife, made a mysterious appearance on April 9th at the White House to talk about the Epstein affair, some saw it as a way to shift focus from the disastrous turn the war in Iran had taken.
The First Lady of the United States emerged from the Blue Room [a reception room in the White House] and stood behind a podium adorned with large American flags in the entrance hall of the White House, with its crystal chandeliers, marble columns, and shining checkered floor.
As the sound of camera shutters quieted down, Melania, with a cold anger, declared, in her now famous Slovenian accent:
” The lies about me and the despicable Jeffrey Epstein must stop today.”
At that moment, all of America wondered what she was talking about: “What lies? We probably read something about it a few months ago, but we have other things to worry about right now.”
“I am not a victim of Epstein.”
