The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, denied reports that she had a personal relationship with the American financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking. She described such accusations as an attempt to tarnish her reputation based on their common acquaintances.
“The lies linking me to the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein must end today.” Individuals who lie to me lack ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance, but I reject their malicious attempts to distort my reputation. Speaking at the White House, the first lady said: “I was never on friendly terms with Epstein before.”
Melania Trump indicated that the periodic intersections with the financier are explained by the coincidence of her social circles with Donald Trump in New York and Florida, where invitations to the same events have become common practice.
She also confirmed that she was never a victim of Epstein and had no information or reports about his crimes RIA Novosti.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates will testify as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein before the US House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability. The interrogation is scheduled to take place on June 10 and will be recorded on video. CBS News reported this on April 7, citing an informed source.
