First Lady Melania Trump has denied connections to Jeffrey Epstein, telling reporters at the White House that any claims linking the two “need to end today”.

In a surprise announcement on Thursday, the first lady called for congressional hearings for survivors of Epstein’s sex trafficking.

She also denied online rumours that Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump, calling them “mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation”.

It is unclear what prompted the announcement.

    She wants to put a target on the victims and run PR campaigns to show they are all liars and not credible.

    The actual criminals are still hidden and safe.

    I also bet someone recently tried to blackmail her and she’s just trying to get in front of it.

    Maybe a fellow victim says she has proof melania helped Epstein.

    Imagine starting a war to distract from your pedophilia, and fucking it up so badly you have to wheel out your bimbo wife to remind everyone about your sex crimes, to distract them from the war.

    Deflection and fake sympathy.

    Melania doesn’t care about the survivors of her Husband’ or his friend Jeffery Epstein’s Rapes/Abuse/Murders.
