First lady Melania Trump, in scathing comments on Thursday, blasted what she described as an array of false claims about her and notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. "I am not Epstein's victim," Melania Trump said. "Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump." "I have never had any knowledge of Epstein's abuse of his victims," she said. "I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant." The first lady said that the first time "I crossed paths with Epstein" was in 2000 at an event where she was with now-President Trump. "At the time, I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings," Melania Trump said. "Fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been circulating on social media for years now," she said. "Be cautious about what you believe: These images and stories are completely false." "I'm not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein's crimes," the first lady said. "My name has never appeared in court documents .. victim statements or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter," she said. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.
