We can be fairly certain Melania's statement last night was at least partly an attempt to stave off Amenda Ungaro's claims bc AFTER she made it, Paolo Zampolli told the Daily Mail he would back her story under oath. emptywheel.net/2026/04/09/m...

Even as Melania rushed to the cameras to insist the story of how she first met Donald Trump was true, the now-deported baby mama of her witness to that claim, Paolo Zampolli, has been making a stink.

>> One more point about #Melania’s video. She stated, clearly, she was not #Epstein’s victim. But #DOJ generally redacted all women’s names as possible victims. So now that Melania has stated she was not a victim, Congress should demand references to her name be unredacted.

This is important.
