The american first lady He reported that “numerous images and statements” have been circulating on social media, which he described as “completely false.”
Melania stated that her name never appeared in documents related to the case, and denied knowing about the abuses of Epsteinas well as any type of participation or complicity.
Melania Trump closed her message urging Congress to grant an audience public to women who have been victims of Epstein to try to shed more light on the case.
The issue of the documents from the investigation into the deceased pedophile has weighed heavily on the Trump government, given demands that the files of the case, which appears to involve many powerful people, be published in full.
Since last fall, the Justice Department was forced to make public hundreds of thousands of documents, many redacted to protect victims and to avoid undermining ongoing investigations.
