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."

@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.
