Was Melania’s Epstein Press Conference An Attempt To Distract From Iran War?
By Andrew Perez and Asawin Suebsaeng Photos: YouTube Screenshots|Wikimedia Commons Polls show a majority of Americans believe that Donald Trump launched his illegal and reckless war in Iran to distract from his Jeffrey Epstein scandal. But on Thursday, first lady Melania Trump made the bizarre decision to hold a surprise press event, so she could draw attention away from the worst-run war in US history and bring the president’s ties to the world’s most famous pedophile right back into the national news cycle. “I’m not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein’s crimes,” Melania Trump declared. “My name has never appeared in court documents, depositions, victim statements, or FBI interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity.” She continued: “I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane, and never visited his private island. I have never been legally accused or convinced [sic] of a crime in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior.” Melania Trump’s comments reminded Swin of this clip of Frank from ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’ It reminded Andrew just slightly more of this classic meme. “What the fuck is she doing right now?” one close Trump adviser asked us shortly after Melania Trump stopped speaking. “I’ve never been friends with Epstein,” Melania Trump said. “Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, [Ghislaine] Maxwell.” This was a televised performance that no one was asking for, and which few could immediately explain. …Subscribe to Zeteo to unlock the rest.
