"Melania Trump delivers statement at the White House denying knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes"

https://apnews.com/article/melania-trump-white-house-epstein-1df98e9902386609608886f7bd256980

Very interesting spin by #media, framing it that "Melania wasn't a victim", and/or "not a *close* acquaintance".
She did not "have a relationship with him? A little hard to see, given the voluminous documentation....

Many have called for #Melania to testify

First lady says she had no knowledge of Epstein's crimes

First lady Melania Trump has delivered a statement at the White House denying ties to Jeffrey Epstein and knowledge of his crimes. In the extraordinary moment on Thursday, the first lady denied any association with Epstein and called accusations that she was involved in Epstein’s crimes “baseless lies.” The seemingly out-of-the-blue message came as her husband, President Donald Trump, and his administration had finally seemed to move past more than a year of controversy surrounding Epstein, especially as the Iran war had become all-consuming in Washington. A spokesman for the first lady said the West Wing knew beforehand that she'd be giving a statement, but it wasn't clear it the content of her remarks were known.

@drmike the guy who introduced melania to donald (#PaoloZampolli) is all over the Epstein files. like epstein #Zampolli ran a "modeling agency" that recruited very young women from eastern europe/russia/etc. he and epstein attempted to buy a larger modeling agency together (the deal fell through). more recently zampolli was involved in a "cash for passports" scandal in #Dominica.

overall zampolli gets very bad reviews in the #EpsteinFiles. victims of epstein who know him call him "sleazy", epstein calls him a snitch.

zampolli is currently an official US ambassador.

@drmike

ctrl-F "zampol" here for the most interesting #EpsteinFiles about this very sketchy and very underappreciated character in the trump / epstein universe:
https://michelcrypt4d4mus.github.io/epstein_text_messages/

there's also a guy on twitter who has been digging up all kinds of dirt on zampolli and #melania's relation to epstein etc... just be careful; he's generally well sourced but there's like 10% of the stuff that he posts that's kind of just conspiracy theory free associating.

@drmike in between posting about all the meetings he's taking as Trump's "Special Envoy for Global Partnerships" #PaoloZampolli likes to post literally the most bottom of the barrel boomer AI slop i've ever seen in my life

@drmike btw some legitimate news organization just broke confirmation that the story that's about to break that #Melania is so worried about came from #PaoloZampolli's baby mama... the woman Zampolli had deported back to brasil a few months ago to win a custody dispute

- Melania Trump's recent Epstein Statement is linked to information from Amanda Ungaro, a former friend and Epstein survivor. - Amanda Ungaro is a Brazilian model and the former partner of Trump administration official Paolo Zampolli, who she claims had her deported. - Ungaro

@drmike tbh it's kind of interesting that the "good" explanation of how melania met trump is that it was through #Zampolli but real talk other than the fact that the star power of the name isn't the same, it's basically no less sketchy to have been an eastern european model working at Zampolli's agency than it would be to have been an eastern european woman working at Epstein and Brunel's agency.

Nice little thread here, now, on #ContextAndPerspective re: #Melania, #TrumpVirus, & #TrumpEpsteinFiles

I sort of agree with the journalist(s) saying the actual "who introduced them" question is not as important as the larger picture, the immigration/brides-by-order, girls/young women for sale, and money laundering and transfer network, and how that intersected banks, 'financial advisors' like #Epstein, the #TrumpOrg cash businesses (and vanishing casino cash!), etc., etc.

@drmike epstein's favourite model scout for young women in eastern europe spent a few years working at #TrumpModels before making the jump to #Epstein

guessing @anthon7yandrews and others saw this long ago but I just caught on to the fact that Epstein's 2nd favourite model scout Tigran Khachatrian (Tigrane?) who turns up in the #EpsteinFiles with Daniel Siad + Jean Luc Brunel used to work for none other than Trump Models
