What I REALLY want to know about the news-behind-the-news is, why is Melania suddenly holding press conferences to say that she didn't know nothin' about Jeffrey Epstein and *especially* wasn't having a relationship with him?

I mean, with the right it's ALWAYS projection, right? So if she runs true to form for a conservative this probably means she had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell.

There's a story out today about a former friend whose ex-husband was their photographer back in the day. The couple were involved in a custody battle and he got ICE involved to deport her, with Melania's help maybe. The woman's been posting threats to Mel from Brazil about "spilling things."
