Full text of Melania Trump statement denying links to Epstein

I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity—I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane, and never visited his private island.

I have never been legally accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein’s sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior.

For context:

Decades of photographic and testimonial evidence repudiate every word of her statement other that the technical fact that she has never been convicted of any crimes related to Jeffery Epstein... yet...

There are decades of videographer, photographic, textual, and testimonial evidence that she absolutely and without a doubt both know and was very close with Jeffrey Epstein _ for many, many years) before AND after meeting and marrying Trump. This is - and has long been established - in not only the Trump-Epstein Files, but in many other outside documentation.

Melania was a widely-circulated whore for almost a decade before even being introduced to Trump. Just Trump's type. And it's been widely documented.

Not that I really doubt it, but where is this documentation about her being a whore?

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

the Epstein files.

"whore" is, admittedly, and overstatement. "slutty" would have been a more appropriate word.

Wasn't she semi-nude in some of the pics already released? That would make her a sex worker, maybe? She probably was trafficked at a young age. She seems like she probably was a sex worker at the very least. Whore seems harsh for anyone.

She was officially a model, so semi nude might still fit her work. Even full nude might be just art or legit money income 🤷
