Unexpectedly appearing before cameras at the White House, First Lady Melania Trump defended herself against claims that she was connected to Jeffrey Epstein, who was accused of running a prostitution ring involving underage girls and died in prison while awaiting trial, asserting that the allegations of her being aware of his crimes were completely unfounded.
People who lie about me lack ethical standards, humility, and respect. I do not contest their ignorance, but I reject their malicious attempts to tarnish my reputation. " said the First Lady, calling on Congress to hold a public hearing centered on the victims of Epstein's crimes.
Epstein, who was charged with sexually abusing dozens of girls under the age of 18 and running a prostitution ring, was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, New York, on August 10, 2019.
