Why is Melania Trump suddenly talking about Epstein?

It could be because Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro is about to expose her.

Amanda Ungaro divorced her husband Paolo Zampolli, who is a close friend of Trump's. And according to her, Zampolli used his place in Trump's government to get ICE to detain her. But now she is out, and yesterday she posted this to Melania:

"I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it's the last thing | do in my life. I will go all the way—I am not afraid."

Important note:

The Amanda Ungaro account was created in December 2025, and someone paid for it to have verified status.

This account is different than an Amanda Ungaro account created in 2009 and used until 2012.

There is no content on the new account which proves that this is really her. There is no proof pictures, no selfie video. The account just claims to be her.

@randahl

That is interesting. If it is not her, there definitely is something that Melania is trying to get ahead of.

@Hey_Beth @randahl

There's definitely lots of dirt in their world, just waiting to hit the fan.

@randahl Please verify this stuff before posting the first time. I get the gleefulness but lately I have the feeling you want things to be true…

@randahl IDK the answer, but there was an interesting thread on reddit yesterday

@kevbob @randahl I make fuck for free. I'm no whore.
@arrrg @kevbob @randahl I bet it's more like he's got a pre-nup that will fuck her forever if she dares speak a word about that flaccid little stain of a man.
@randahl Interesting 🧐
@randahl Why does she threaten to expose them and not simply expose them right now? What's the reason for waiting? Does she hope for some kind of deal?

@StephanMatthiesen certainly a relevant question.

I do not know the answer, but I know this:

Adding more fuel to the Epstein fire in an election year is the last thing Republicans want, the last thing Trump wants, and the last thing Trump's supporters want.

I sincerely hope she is taking care of her own security.

@randahl @StephanMatthiesen
It would have been wiser to give a formal statement (approved by plaster) then to use social media for this... 🥴

@randahl @StephanMatthiesen
I hope the truth comes out but I can't help being angry that she knew something about a pedo ring and she chose to sit on it until they pissed her off. This is not character, it is a bitter co- conspirator.

All that said, I expect a car crash or "random" assault will end her soon. Talk fast!

@randahl I guess I fear that these are empty threats and that she doesn't actually have much, or that she's trying to get the Trumps to do her some favour in return for silence and we are none the wiser.

If she's really at the point where she doesn't have anything to lose and is determined to bring down the regime and has the means to do it, then I don't see why announcing it is a useful strategy. You simply don't tell your enemies what you're planning to do.

@StephanMatthiesen @randahl
Maybe she needs to wait for some lawyer to greenlight her revelations. Or she's upping the ante for an exclusive book contract or something (no offense).
@randahl You say "she is out," which is true. But she's out of detention because they deported her, separating her from her children, and so she feels she has nothing to lose.
@bodhipaksa @randahl It seems a number of scummy men in Spanky’s circle have done this. Have ICE kick foreign-born spouse out if country so you get to keep the kids. No fuss divorce. :(
@CStamp @bodhipaksa @randahl
For example the brother of the press secretary, I think.
@pietkuip @CStamp @randahl That's correct. He was one of them, although I don't think his attempt to have his ex deported was successful.
@CStamp @bodhipaksa @randahl Total dick move from Paolo. He could have waited things out and kept out of public attention as the result (deportation) would be the same. But this added fuel to the fire.
@CStamp @bodhipaksa @randahl It would be fascinating if Paoloʼs interference led to the undoing of Trump. Piss off an ex when he didnʼt need to, and she starts talking.
@jackyan I hope something breaks this thing open. Expecting it to be left to victims to “testify and go on the record” as resolution was such a crappy thing to say. Those responsible for the abuse need to be in the hot seat. @bodhipaksa @randahl
@CStamp @bodhipaksa @randahl I hope so, too, and agree 100 per cent that the abusers need to be in the hot seat, rather than the current MAGA climate (Molesters Are Getting Amnesty). Amanda will know a lot—and Paolo is outspoken.
@randahl unfortunately she will soon suffer an unfortunate accident
@claushoumann @randahl My thoughts exactly. The Trump administration will stop at nothing.
@randahl Ever more interesting times to be living in.

@randahl
@randahl Not only a close friend of Trump's, but provably deeply involved with Epstein. His name can be found throughout the released portion of the Epstein file and in legal agreements including on an attempt to purchase a modeling agency and on Maxwell's charity outfit. Ungaro had been brought to the US on Epstein's Lolita Express jet and met Zampolli when she was 17.
@randahl Zampolli is apparently willing to testify under oath about the circumstances in which he introduced Melania to Trump.
@randahl What I think we're about to get is a he said/she said between Zampolli and his ex-wife, who are both going to say contradictory things about their relationships with Trump/Epstein and the procurement of models and escorts for them. Zampolli was involved in multiple modelings agencies and also a real estate company which used models to sell. You look at the Epstein address book and it is pretty much wall to wall listings of models, modeling agencies, escorts, massage girls, etc.
@randahl And Epstein kept a bunch of listed apartments for keeping models. We're basically going to hear about Zampolli and procurement of models for Trump/Epstein from a model who was herself trafficked when under 18. I think she's got receipts. I think she can name names, dates, photos, etc. I think Melania knows this, so is trying to get out ahead of it.

@randahl Ungaro, on the other hand, may not make the most credible witness. She was arrested last year working at an unlicensed medical clinic where a not US licensed doctor was performing plastic surgery and she apparently was caught on video doing more minor cosmetic procedures using lasers, injectables, etc. She seems to have mostly been the places secretary/assistant.

Thing is, it appears Zampolli may have intervened with ICE to get her deported to gain custody over their son.

@Infoseepage @randahl The agencies and real estate venture (first time Paolo dealt with Trump IIRC) were pretty well known by us in the trade in the 2000s. The agency was one of the better ones in NYC at the time but that real estate venture was weird. I don’t think it got any traction. I think you are right that Amanda has receipts.
@jackyan @randahl These people were not subtle. You look at the Epstein emails and you got very frank exchanges that barely qualify as inuendo/code words. It's all basically "Hey, going to be at place X around time Y? I'm going to be in town. Anyone got some inappropriate girls?" Like seriously, you read the emails and these people left a paper trail a mile deep which could easily be corroborated.
@jackyan @randahl All it takes is for one of these girls to have a little black book in which they noted everything Mueller style.
@Infoseepage @randahl Deepak Chopra was the big culprit here … probably the least subtle out of the ones I spotted in the Epstein emails.
@Infoseepage @randahl I can find 18 references to Zampolli in the files so far (most Paolo, a few not) but would love to read the legal agreements if you have a link (I’m not in the US so I don’t know where these documents are). But Amanda could be a key person tying the two men together.
@jackyan @randahl Apparently he partnered with Epstein in an attempt to buy Elite Model Management and is one of four named partners to Maxwell's charity the Terramar project. You can see his name on old Archive.org snapshots of the project's press releases.
@Infoseepage @randahl Thank you for the pointers. So interesting. Paolo hated John Casablancas so this is all the more interesting. Will check these out.
Brazilian former model says Trump ally used influence to have her deported amid child custody battle

In an exclusive interview with O GLOBO, Amanda Ungaro says Paolo Zampolli — a White House–linked envoy — asked ICE to detain her and later contacted prosecutors about the couple’s son’s testimony

O Globo
@jackyan @randahl I'm pretty sure she has a lot of colorful anecdotes and maybe some photos. What we really need is someone who was a diarist, who lists locations, times, who was in the rooms, things which were said, etc. We basically need Samuel Pepys to be a teenaged model documenting their Lolita Express adventure in real time. If you can show high corroboration between the diary and other data sources, then the issues surrounding her credibility as a witness would fall away.
@Infoseepage @randahl You almost need someone with some military training—which isn’t far-fetched. Paolo scouted in Israel. You never know if there was a model who had completed her military service and was good at keeping notes.
@randahl Oooh! I'll get the popcorn ready!

@randahl oh, yeah, that one was confusing

i guess it really *wasn't* a choice they were making to bring up, then

will take legal action against you and your pedophile husband.

I have known you for 20 years. You knew I was detained in ICE. You were present in my life — every year on my son’s birthday, even sending Secret Service and being the first to congratulate him, back in 2016.

Something was clearly wrong, but I am not part of any evil mission involving children. So what did you do, Melania? You tried to involve me, but you failed — because I have character

@randahl
Could it be she is being counter sued by Michael Wolff & is trying to control the narrative.
@feather1952 I have no idea. But when all of this is over, the movie will write itself.
@randahl I hope she lives long enough to get this out into the open.
@randahl Ah, just like how Karoline Leavitt's brother dealt with his child custody dispute. Definitely a pattern with these people. How long before Melania and Elon piss Donald or his handlers off enough to get their immigration status revisited?

@randahl

People who say to dangerous people: “Leave me alone, or else” don’t live very long.

@randahl Sir... we have been trying for decades to change the system. When we succeed over some matters, I think of it as a time capsule, being released to serve a specific agenda, not really to only expose the truth. We are in fact dealing with a 'ruthless organization of political manipulators'
@randahl why Pam Bondi was fired maybe why Melania felt the need to give that speech…
