Melania Trump denounces 'lies' connecting her with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein in White House event
Fox News ^ | April 9, 2026 2:49pm EDT | Jasmine Baehr

First lady Melania Trump delivered a rare, brief statement Thursday afternoon at the White House, coming out swinging at those who have linked her to Jeffrey Epstein, calling them "devoid of ethical standards."

The remarks lasted roughly three minutes and did not include questions from the press.

"The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today," she said. "I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation."

Obviously, the anti-Melania weirdos are trying to cover their own ties to Epstein.

The left’s seething hatred knows no bounds.

“Melania set a record on Rotten Tomatoes for the largest disparity between critics’ scores and audience ratings in the platform’s history.”

Tells you everything you need to know about the “critics”

The smear merchants could care less about 'truth'... They buy and sell lies to the highest bidder ... Just look at what the insane Catholics are attempting to do to President Trump ... play acting for the demonic mullahs .... They are willingly ignorant and spew demonic lies and cover up for a bunch of misfits calling US the great 'satan'...

the left could care less about Epstein’s victims or any victims for that matter. These are the same leftists who voted AGAINST releasing congressional records regarding current and former members of congress who paid off women for their silence with OUR tax dollars..so yeah tell me again they care about “victims” when the files were released, they just did a search for “Trump” to see if anything came up, that is ALL that matters to them, TRUMP, nothing else

I was somewhat surprising to see the First Lady speaking out directly on this long held rumor. I’m glad she faced her accusers and directly dealt with this topic herself, vs asking the president to do so for her, which, I’m sure, he would have done, had she asked.

It’s rare that our First Lady speaks to us on such personally felt topics.
Whereas, the previous First Lady. Michelle O, incessantly talks AT us about all her personal quibbles and factors of disgust. I certainly understand why First Lady Melania usually keeps her guard up while in public, after being treating poorly by the media during Trump’s first term.

This crap is thick on social media. And everyone believes it.
Until we treat the media like the enemy it is, nothing changes.

Of course..where was Massie for FOUR YEARS under Biden demanding the release of these files. In fact for FOUR YEARS during Biden I dont remember ANYONE even mentioning Epstein’s name, and that includes Republicans

She is not a lady I would want to piss off. If they lie about her she will go after they hammer and tongs. There will be no mercy, as there shouldn’t be for those lying bastards.

The objective is to cost her time and money... and to stick the proverbial finger in the eye of President Trump... Right out of Lucifer's hand book ... others call it rules for radicals ... pure unadulterated evil.

Lrgo videos say Trump had over 40 trips to Epstein Isle. It was pretty funny showing young American victoms and Iran Girl School victims waking him up from a nightmare.

Melina is connected via Trump.

Interesting she name Skeletor Carville by name.

She demanded retractions and apologies. Expect incoming lawsuits when nothing happens.

Objectively:
If you watch the movie as I did, you can quickly see she couldn’t even imagine being involved in Epstein’s crazy life.
She is all about fashion and how it looks to the outside world.
Not exactly my type but also not the type that needs to shop for rich husbands at a remote island.

What are you talking about? Melania never had any sort of relationship with Epstein.
