Melania delivers statement at White House denying ties to Trump and knowledge of his crimes

WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Melania Trump is denying ties to Trump and knowledge of his crimes, saying Thursday that the “stories are completely false” and calling online accusations that she was somehow involved “smears about me.”

“The lies linking me with the disgraceful Donald Trump need to end today. The individuals lying about me are devoid of ethical standards, humility and respect. I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation,” she said.

Reading an extraordinary statement at the White House, she denied any association with Trump and said, “My attorneys and I have fought these unfounded and baseless lies with success.”

The first lady also called on Congress to hold a public hearing centered on survivors of Trump’s crimes, with a chance to testify before lawmakers and have their stories entered into the congressional record.

“Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public if she wishes,” she said. “Then, and only then, we will have the truth.”

Her out-of-the-blue message came just as her husband and his administration had finally appeared successful in moving beyond the Trump controversy, which had sent shockwaves through the nation’s politics for months.

The case had begun to be overshadowed by the war in Iran and other major issues — but the first lady’s comments might push it back into the political spotlight.

The first lady said she was not friends with Donald Trump but was in overlapping social circles in New York and Florida. She described an email reply she sent to Donald as “casual correspondence” without elaborating.

“My polite reply to her email doesn’t amount to anything more than a trifle,” she said.

I really don’t care, do you?

[ex-khobar Andy]

I do not object to their ignorance . . . ” she said.

It's OK Melania, we knew that already,

[Big RR]

It's pretty clear she embraces ignorance

[BoSoxGal]

So I’m watching her statement now - she struggles to read English, that’s pathetic for someone who endorses the anti immigrant rhetoric and behavior of this administration.

[Joe Guy]

For anyone who cares to watch and hasn't already seen it....

[BoSoxGal]

Her email to Maxwell, with whom she had no relationship, was signed ‘Love, Melania.’

Do sex workers default to ‘love’ in their signature, like lawyers default to ‘very truly yours’?

[Joe Guy]

2:25- "Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating on social media for years now."

[BoSoxGal]

Circulating, of course.

She misread several other words in the speech as well.

You’d think if she wanted to be an American, she’d learn to speak and read American a lot better than that.

But in all seriousness, it’s very clear she’s not a Constant Reader. She probably reads Vogue and not much else.

Trump launched a war on Iran to distract everyone from Epstein.

Now Melania inserts herself into the Epstein story in order to distract everyone from how badly the Iran war is going.

Plus ça change...

[Crackpot]

I just wonder the purpose. She either is running interference using Epstein to distract from the war started to distract from Epstein or she’s decided that the winds have changed and she doesn’t want to be vilified for the rest of her life without the ailing Trump to distract the press.

Edit missed the cross post while I got distracted from writing this post.

[Big RR]

She probably reads Vogue and not much else.

No, she just looks at the pictures.

[MajGenl.Meade]

Probably way off but . . . I just had a strange idea that Melanoma's bizarre speech and Shagger Vance's sudden elevation to drooling in Hungary, Italy (for the Olympics Peace Prize negotiation) and Pakistan to bring a final solution to Iran . . . . and the sudden surge of fascist assholes of the MAGA media turning against the Fatwat

. . . . surely, surely not, this couldn't possibly be preparation for a 25th Amendment move????

[Crackpot]

Melania strikes me as someone who operates in “survival mode” rather than any great allegiance to any person or philosophy. So while I’m tempted to believe this is a planned smokescreen I also have to remember that “this is not a brains type operation”

Melania Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Pedophile!
Epstein, she means.

Melania Trump on Thursday, ready for her close-up

Some days the news-iverse brings tales of terror and destruction, but other days, well … defrost the Girl Scout cookies, re-heat a Little Caesar’s and chill a TaBⓇ or six, y’all, because yesterday First Lady Melania Melanija Knavs Knauss Trump emerged from her million-dollar closet to declare she did not fuck with Jeffrey Edward Epstein, he did not introduce her to Trump, she was not a victim of his, nor a witness, and her affectionate communications with Ghislaine Noelle Marion Maxwell and more than 100 appearances in the files represented only a “casual correspondence,” of her being “polite” to someone in her overlapping social circle. Good to hear, now go say it under oath in court, or in Congress, even, and release the other 3 million Epstein files to prove it!

And gee, why were Epstein and Melania’s social circles so overlapping, who, what, when, where, and whyhow came the jizz that stuck the pages of that particular address book together? It is a puzzle! She must be so furious Trump brought her around all those creeps.

Anyway, watch, read along, and/or we will attempt to parse how much BS she packed into one short pop-up, poopsie, and to keep under 2,000 words!

First, why is Melania surfacing now? Devoted readers of this mommyblog already know it is certainly not out of nowhere, no fucking sir! The mostly ghostly silent chatelaine of Mar-a-Lago is selective about when and how she appears, from her pussy bow to the jacket that underscored how she really DOESN’T CARE, DO U, about immigrant children in cages and/or what the press thinks of her. You can count her speaking appearances within the past decade on your fingers and toes with your pants on, and all of them with the exception of the GOP conventions were to make a buck.

This apparition before us is surely at least somewhat about potential discovery demands in the lawsuit against her from author Michael Wolff.

And, or, perhaps also about the book by Brit Andrew Lownie, Entitled, mostly about the Duke of York but with a passage where Epstein claimed he had sex with Melania in 2007, a passage Wolff said publisher HarperCollins removed from future and audiobook versions after the First Lady made legal threats.

Melania has long been litigation-happy. In the first term she successfully sued the UK rag Daily Mail and a Maryland blogger for saying she had been an escort, and last year threatened to sue author Michael Wolff and Hunter Biden for a BILLION dollars each for saying hers was a “sham marriage, trophy marriage, hardly any marriage at all,” that Melania was “very involved in the Epstein scandal,” that she met Trump through Epstein’s social circles, and that Epstein had claimed Trump first explored Melania’s ladyjungles while airborne on the Lolita Express, because that was what Jeffrey Epstein had told him.

And Hunter Biden said that Wolff had said “Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. The connections are, like, so wide and deep” and “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, that’s how Melania and the First Lady and the President met. Really? Epstein made the intro? Yeah, according to Michael Wolff.”

Which is not exactly what Wolff said Epstein said. But Wolff did spend more than a hundred hours in 2017 interviewing Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon on tape about Trump, and Melania’s ties to Epstein sure did come up! Wolff has written four books all about Trump, and knows perhaps more than any person alive outside of Trump’s circle about how deep his and Melania’s ties might go. And Wolff has the receipts and knows the law, because he is a professional journalist. So he was like AIGHT BET and last October anti-SLAPP sued Melania right back in New York, whee!

Last we heard, Melania had not yet pursued her threat against Hunter Biden, and was trying to get the venue for Wolff’s suit moved down to Florida, even though, uh, isn’t her official address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington DC? (Wonkette has been sued for libel in Palm Beach, and it did not go well for Not Wonkette!) Guess it’s official that she’s been working out of Palm Beach and/or now that $70M gently used Noemdowski fuck plane since her husband had her East Wing office and glamor room torn out, and Barron turned the Trump Tower penthouse triplex duplex into his personal Bone Zone, no mommies allowed!

And of course Melania is fighting discovery with every veneer and press-on! Possibly her lawyers have delivered unto her some unwelcome news.

Onto the parsing of the notable moments, top fibs and linguistic double-dutch rope skipping!

Dood afternoon. Dang, she looks and sounds SHOOK.



Betcha she plays up her accent because it turns Trump on. She could speech-therapy it out in a few weeks if she wanted to, as all Southerners have to if they want to go into newscasting, PR, or otherwise be taken seriously by the rest of the clippy and nasal-talking USA. All of Trump’s wives and many of his girlfriends were known for their strong accents, IJS.

So, yes, lawsuits’ demands are surely pressing. Especially if any requested discovery about Melania is in part of that 3 million hidden tranche that the DOJ is already illegally withholding and has not even tried to excuse with any NATIONAL SECURITY cop-out.

Melania’s statement is also certainly, primarily, as Epstein’s survivors note, about deflecting the blame away from herself and her husband, and “shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions to protect those with power.” And don’t forget Madam Child Pimp is still alive and kicking in puppy prison, too.


If one must get ahead of things, now is as a good as a distract-y time as any.

Anyway, gee, yeah, who was Pam Bondi’s boss? Pam Bondi is gone now, refusing to testify before Congress, and Todd Blanche is (Interim, Acting) attorney general, so, where’s the files and the child-rape accusations that Trump’s own FBI found credible in 2019. And who is telling Todd Blanche, Mike Johnson et al. what to do and who to subpoena now, huh, huh?

“I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing specifically centered around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath in front of Congress, with the power of sworn testimony. Each and every woman should have her day to tell her story in public, if she wishes, and then her testimony should be permanently entered into the Congressional Record.”

Like the victims her husband’s DOJ illegally un-redacted? Why, so they can get re-victimized all over again by the pedo-hugging cretins in Congress and doxxed some more? It is not any victim’s job to go publicly out these men and hold them to some kind of account. That is the job of her husband’s DOJ, to release the files as the law requires them to do. It’s their job to go prosecute people, ma’am, not play step-n-fetch for Ghislaine Maxwell with a puppy and some Chick-fil-A in prison, believe it or not.

It’s the same game they always play. Trump is Godlike strongman, only he can do it, whatever it is, yet he is helpless as a pinky mouse against the machinations of the people he himself installed and what they put into motion, and any consequences of the deals he himself art-ed. Is America stupid enough to keep rocking to that broken 8-track? At least a good one-third, it seems!

“I never been friends with Epstein. I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump.

“I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings. Numerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating [sic] on social media for years now. Be cautious about what you believe.”

Epstein never said that exactly. By all accounts, including Trump’s and Melania’s, Trump introduced himself at a party at the Kit Kat Club in New York in 1998 held by either Melania’s friend, according to Melania, or her agent, Paolo Zampolli. And Melania claims she first rejected Trump because he had arrived on the arm of another woman, reported long ago by the unimpeachable New Yorker as Norwegian cosmetics heiress Celina Midelfart, who also happened to have been one of Epstein’s ex-girlfriends. So is “in the same circle” fair to say? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How Wolff portrayed what Epstein had related to him: “She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way. Epstein knows her well.” And Trump and Epstein met at some point in the late ‘80s and were confirmed hanging tough by 1992.

How Andrew Lownie portrayed it:

He replied: "Nice guy, got a lot of problems coming up in my opinion, with the famous island with Jeffrey Epstein.' When a Bloomberg reporter asked Mr Trump what 'problems' he thought Mr Clinton would face, he replied: I don't know, but that island was really a cesspool, there's no question about it, just ask Prince Andrew, he'll tell you about it, the island was an absolute cess-pool."He was talking about Little Saint James, which Andrew had first visited back in 1999.In 2007, Epstein told one author that he had facilitated therelationship between Trump and his future wife Melania.The first time Donald had sex with Melania was on my plane. Little did he know I beat him to the punch a year before when I was at a party of New York's top models by Metropolitan Models, one of the world's top agencies ...Things got wild, and by the end of the night, I ended up almost naked in the back of a limo, going at it with Melania.

Milanese model agent Paolo Zampolli also sponsored Melania in 1996 for that genius Einstein visa for her extraordinary modeling ability, an episode that has always been rather mysterious! Trump later gifted Zampolli many cushy jobs, starting in 2004 when he made him Director of International Development for the Trump Org selling apartments, and eventually promoted him all the way up to an Ambassador for Global Partnerships in the current administration, where he was just hanging out with JD Vance in Hungary this very week!

Zampolli allegedly used his connections last year to try to get ICE to deport his (ex-) girlfriend of two decades to Brazil so he could get full custody of their child. What a guy! And now the ex is claiming to have dirt. She got with Zampolli around 2006, so maybe?

Also as it happens, Zampolli has recently made it clear he’s willing and eager to step up and testify on Melania’s behalf to her version of events, so perhaps she is feeling her new huevos as an empty-nester and film star. And urgency to help her husband, as she has been newly named the most unpopular First Lady of all time.

Epstein had also claimed to Wolff (and also Andrew Lownie’s source too, it seems) that he had met Melania before Trump had, and that Trump and Melania had fucked for the first time on his Lolita Express, because a billionaire’s plane is the same thing as the working man’s back of a minivan, apparently. Which may or may not be true, Epstein was a well-known liar and braggart, of course, and only three people would know the fuckplane part for sure, and one of them is not alive, and the other two aren’t saying!

Donald John Trump chose Melania to be his third wife for a reason. They were simpatico the minute she rejected his first offer as too low. Their partnership might not be what most would call the most romantic sort of love, but they are partners in something.

Did the First Lady always keep it classy? Was she truly so blind to the same creepiness that everyone else from Luther Campbell to Howard Lutnick to eventually even her own husband claimed they saw in Epstein? Were contacts with Epstein and his kiddie pimp really as limited as she claims? Did Wolff in good faith accurately relay what Epstein said on the tape? Can’t wait for court!

In the meantime, all anyone can say for sure about her is she can boogie, boogie woogie, all night long, yessir.

It’s Friday, so we all might as well too!
