Melania Trump Drops A HUGE Surprise Bombshell On Epstein Case!

[0:00] I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing [0:07] specifically centered around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify [0:16] under oath in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. [0:22] First Lady Melania Trump has broken her silence on the Epstein files. And [0:31] this came as the Trump administration very clearly does not want to focus on the Epstein files. So [0:38] what exactly is happening here? She is calling for Congress to hold a public hearing with the [0:44] survivors. Cenk, what are your two cents? Yeah, so there's two possibilities here. [0:53] One is the war is not a distraction from the Epstein files as Anna pointed out, [0:58] the Epstein files might be a distraction from the war now. [1:01] But the other possibility is that a story is about to come out saying that Melania and [1:08] Donald Trump were set up by Jeffrey Epstein. So that's the main reason you would try to [1:15] get ahead of the story by doing something like this. And so let's get the facts and also Donald [1:21] Trump's reaction is very relevant here. It sure is. Now, I actually wanna get to that right away [1:27] because everyone was wondering, did Trump know about this press conference that the First Lady's [1:32] doing? And it turns out according to MS Now, Trump did not know that she was issuing this statement. [1:41] Jerome's, all right. But let's get to more of what she had to say because it was a surprise move [1:48] from the First Lady. However, she denied having any connection to Epstein. Take a look. [1:53] I never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties [2:03] as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm [2:13] Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice Maxwell. My email [2:25] reply to Maxwell cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. [2:35] I am not Epstein's victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump. [2:43] I met my husband by chance at the New York City party in 1998. Now, Melania has always maintained [2:54] that an Italian modeling agent by the name of Paolo Zampoli is the person who introduced her to [3:03] President Donald Trump back in 1998. A man who also appeared in the Epstein files numerous times [3:09] and did business with Epstein though, so that's not great. But going back to her statement, she [3:15] then went into detail about the first time that she actually met Epstein. Here's what she had to say. [3:21] The first time I crossed paths with Epstein was in the year 2000 at an event Donald and I attended [3:31] together. At the time I had never met Epstein and had no knowledge of his criminal undertakings. Numerous [3:45] fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating on social media for years now. [3:56] Be cautious about what you believe. I'm not a witness or a name witness in connection with [4:06] any of Epstein's crimes. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein abuse of his victims. I was [4:16] never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane and never visited his [4:26] private island. Melania's name does appear in the Epstein files because of emails that she had with [4:36] Ghislaine Maxwell. She described as casual correspondence. In a 2002 email written to [4:44] Maxwell, a woman named Melania wrote to Maxwell to praise a profile of Epstein in New York Magazine. [4:52] Maxwell called Melania sweet pea and Melania signed her email love. And again, right now, [4:59] obviously, we don't have a shred of evidence showing any wrongdoing that Melania was involved [5:05] in or anything like that. Melania has never been charged with a crime. I think it's important to [5:08] know that. But what befuddles people is why she put out the statement in the first place. [5:13] And we are hearing some talking points from a lot of people, some claims from a lot of people online [5:21] that she had this relationship with Epstein. Maybe there was something shady going on, [5:25] but again, no evidence of that. But where things get really interesting, one more clip here, Cenk, [5:29] is her calling for Congress to act and do something that, to be quite honest, [5:36] Trump's voters overwhelmingly wanted him to do, but he didn't do. Take a look. [5:40] Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone. Several prominent male executives resigned [5:51] from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, [6:00] this doesn't amount to guilt, but we still must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth. [6:07] I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing [6:17] specifically centered around the survivors. Give these victims their opportunity to testify under oath [6:27] in front of Congress with the power of sworn testimony. Then and only then we will have the truth. [6:36] Thank you. Thomas Massey loved that message and said First Lady asked Congress to bring [6:49] Epstein survivors in for testimony with all due respect. That's Todd Blanche's job. But he also says [6:56] that Rokan and I have already gave brave survivors a chance to tell their horrific stories on Capitol Hill. [7:03] Pam Bondi wouldn't even acknowledge them prosecute. And the reason why I say Massey loves this is because [7:10] it puts this issue front and center at a time when the war against Iran has really sucked up all the [7:18] energy, all the attention in the country. And people have kind of forgotten about the Epstein files, [7:23] or at least they're not focusing on the Epstein files. And so now there's a shift back to this issue, [7:28] which I'm sure Trump is not happy about. This is not something that he wanted, but who knows, [7:34] maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there's something, maybe there's some sort of scam going on here. [7:38] I have no idea, but Cenk, what do you make of this? Yeah, so I have a theory, [7:43] but first just on a personal note, I remember when I was poor for most of my life and a nerd and an [7:51] outsider. I remember, I'm still all of those things. Anyway, and this is the part I used to think, [7:59] I was a little bitter about not getting invited to the cool parties. Thank God I wasn't. [8:06] Totally. Yeah, these parties turned out to be disgusting, Jesus Christ. So all right, [8:12] Melania doing this is the equivalent of a guy coming into a room and screaming, I'm not gay. [8:19] Okay, okay, we don't want to send that until you started screaming it. So it does make you wonder. [8:28] So normally somebody gets in front of a story by doing a revelation like this. And how would they know [8:34] that a story's coming out? Well, a reporter will call you right before they publish the story [8:40] and ask you for a comment. So when they ask you for a comment, then you know the story's coming out [8:45] and you do a presser like this. So we don't know that that's gonna happen yet, [8:48] but that's usually the reason why something like this happens. Okay, now in terms of, [8:55] is it possible that Epstein introduced them? First of all, of course, of course it's possible, [9:00] right? So Epstein introduced a lot of girls to a lot of rich people. So now some of them were young [9:08] girls and in seedy private areas, etc. But some of them were young women. And so [9:18] she was introduced by an Italian modeling agent or something. Now you remember the French modeling agent [9:24] who got Epstein a lot of the underage girls who then was arrested and committed suicide in prison [9:34] after Epstein did. So a lot of those modeling agents, their jobs was to procure women for wealthy, [9:42] powerful men. So I don't think that that's the when she thinks it is by telling us that that's how [9:49] they met. So now they're keeping a real portion of our programming. Okay, now I don't know that [9:56] this applies to Melania at all because you need real facts and evidence to say that. [10:01] But is there a concept of what we can call semi pros? Well, of course there is. What does that mean? [10:09] So like if you're a person who is a sex worker, there's a simple transaction, right? [10:17] John, the client pays a certain amount of money and they get the woman for a certain [10:23] number of hours or the night, etc. Now the semi pros don't work like that. [10:28] You cannot pay them for the night. In fact, they'll be deeply offended by that, okay? [10:33] But if you are good to them, they will be your girlfriend for a while, right? And sometimes do the [10:43] idiot, much older wealthy men fall in love and then marry that semi pro happens all the time, okay? [10:58] Is there a little cottage industry of guys like Epstein and the modeling agents who introduced the [11:04] semi pros to high society? Yes, there's no question about that. Whether Melania and Trump met that way [11:12] is an open question, but does that happen? Definitively it does. Of course it does, [11:18] which is why I have chosen the path of working 12 plus hours a day to not have to be with someone as [11:24] disgusting and repulsive as Donald Trump. Every time you ring the bell below, [11:28] an angel gets his swings. Totally not true, but it does keep you updated on our live shows.
