Melania Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein Denial Challenged by Bombshell 2019 FBI Report

A newly unearthed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) witness interview from 2019 seemingly contradicts Melania Trump's recent statements denying connections to Jeffrey Epstein.

On April 9, the first lady held a press conference at the White House that surprised many. She issued a rare public statement, denying any connections with the late s*x offender.

She also dismissed rumors that Epstein had introduced her to President Donald Trump.

Later, a former modeling agent, Paulo Zampoli, who now serves as a special envoy to Trump, backed Melania's statements and claimed he introduced the first lady to her future husband.

According to an FBI interview summary report, a female witness from Poland claimed in 2019 that it was Epstein who introduced Melania to Trump.

An FBI special agent, whose name has been redacted from the documents, wrote the FBI witness interview summary that read, "EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP."

The witness summary interview further said that Zampolli had an "affair" with the female witness and that he attempted to purchase a French modeling agency called Elit Model Management with Epstein.

Raw Story reports that the same modeling agency represented Trump's eldest daughter, Ivanka Trump, when she was 15 years old.

"[Redacted] had an affair with the agent. ZEMPOLI was trying to buy Elite Models with EPSTEIN," the report reads.

"EPSTEIN was visiting ZEMPOLI at the agency when there were casting auditions for models. EPSTEIN was looking through portfolios and saw [Redacted's] photograph of her wearing only swim bottoms," the interview summary read.

However, in her statement last week, Melania denied the allegations about Epstein introducing Trump to her. She claimed that she first met the president and her future husband "by chance, at a New York City party in 1998."

She described the rumors that the late criminal introduced her to her husband as "mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation."

Zampolli also dismissed the allegations, calling the accusation "nonsense."

In her statement, Melania said that she was not a victim of Epstein, with whom she said she had only briefly "crossed paths" in 2000.

"I have never had any knowledge of Epstein's abuse of his victims," she further added. "I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant," she claimed.

Melania, 55, also denied knowing Trump's longtime associate and convicted child abuser, Ghislaine Maxwell.

She seemingly acknowledged a 2002 email she sent to Maxwell, and dismissed it as "casual correspondence" and "a polite reply."

Melania also called for congressional hearings of Epstein's victims and survivors.

Melania's sudden press conference grabbed headlines around the globe. Meanwhile, Trump told MS Now that he was unaware of Melania's statements before the presser.

On the other hand, a spokesperson for the first lady told the New York Times that Trump knew Melania was about to make a statement, but later added that it was unclear what the topic of her address would be.
