Melania met Donald Trump through Epstein social circle? Trump biographer drops bombshell claim
'She's introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She's introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well,' Wolff was quoted as saying by The Daily Beast in a podcast interview.
Wolff also spoke about the First Lady's recurring absence from her husband's legal and political battles, asserting that she often keeps a calculated distance.
'She never is by his side,' Wolff said according to the news outlet. Referring to Donald Trump's many courtroom appearances, Wolff added: 'She shows up once. I report in my book that one of the aides approached her and she said, 'Nice try,' and then laughed.'
In response to the allegations, the Trump campaign issued a scathing rebuttal, the report stated. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung dismissed Wolff's claims and attacked his credibility.
'Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s--t and has been proven to be a fraud,' Cheung said in a statement as quoted. 'He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.'
Melania Trump, who has generally avoided public comment on the matter, recently shared a two-page excerpt from her bestselling memoir "Melania", in which she refutes any suggestion that Epstein played a role in her meeting Trump.
In the excerpt posted last week, she wrote that she met Donald Trump at Manhattan's Kit Kat Club, not through Epstein's circle.
The Trump administration has been under scrutiny over any potential connections to Epstein, particularly after a July 6 memo from the Department of Justice and FBI reaffirmed that Epstein died by suicide in jail while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges in 2019. The report also reiterated that no 'client list' of co-conspirators exists — a point frequently challenged by Trump's MAGA base.

Many people have gone more famous in their death than alive, but the man leading the list is none other than . The financier and sex offender, who was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019, had pleaded guilty in 2008 to one count of solicitation of prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution from a minor. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Over a decade later, the case was explored in depth, and Epstein faced charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy related to his alleged abuse of "dozens of underage girls" between 2002 and 2005. Ever since he came into the limelight, people globally have been interested in knowing more about his crimes and who was involved with him. Now, previously unseen letters written to the late sex offender, along with photographs from his seven-story Manhattan mansion, were published by the New York Times, giving a much-wanted glimpse into his connections and world. The segment of pictures and letters from popular artists and political leaders showcases Epstein's life in the years leading to his arrest.

'Being neighbors, my wife Soon-Yi and I have been invited for dinner many times. Always accept, always interesting.

He recently shared that he fell out with the financier after he "stole" Virginia Giuffre, who later became his victim, from Trump's spa at Mar-a-Lago in 2000. The Epstein files are still awaited by the public. On Tuesday, the House Oversight Committee, led by Republicans, subpoenaed the Justice Department for the files, calling for the department to turn over all investigative material related to , his accomplice.

Bill Gates' handwritten note found in Jeffrey Epstein's scandalous Manhattan house, ‘I was wrong'
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates was once blackmailed by Jeffrey Epstein over his affair with a Russian girl. Now, Gates' handwritten note was found at Epstein's Manhattan home. Photos from Jeffrey Epstein's house in Manhattan reveal shocking details. His seven-floor home had cameras in bedrooms, a framed copy of the book Lolita and strange decorations. The New York Times shared photos that revealed an unusual item. It was a $1 bill signed by Bill Gates, saying 'I was wrong!' The bill, where Gates wrote over George Washington's face. was kept in the living room. The Wall Street Journal reported in May 2023 that Jeffrey Epstein had come to know about Bill Gates' alleged affair with a young Russian woman. He later used this to try and pressure Gates. Epstein paid for her coding course, then in 2017 asked Gates to repay him. This came after Gates refused to join Epstein's big charity plan. Gates' team said Epstein failed to use the affair to blackmail him. The house had a sculpture of a bride hanging by a rope and many fake eyeballs in frames near the entrance. Epstein lived there before his arrest. Epstein often hosted rich and powerful guests in that 21,000-square-foot home. Pictures of famous people like Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Pope John Paul II, Richard Branson, Bill Gates and Elon Musk were displayed. These photos came out after Epstein's arrest in 2019 for child sex trafficking. Over the years, more details from inside his house have surfaced. There were also massage rooms where he reportedly abused young girls. In the massage room, photos showed paintings of naked women, a big silver ball and chain and shelves full of lubricant. Jeffrey Epstein often made teenage girls, some even from middle schools, massage him while he was naked, according to NY Times. Court records and victims said he had sometimes pleased himself in front of them and sometimes assaulted them. No cameras were seen in the massage room. Earlier, Epstein received a birthday album in 2003 with letters from many, including former US President Bill Clinton and current US President Donald Trump. In 2016, seven people sent birthday wishes to Jeffrey Epstein, as per NY Times' findings. These included scientist Noam Chomsky and his wife, businessman Joichi Ito, physicist Lawrence Krauss, biologist Martin Nowak and politicians like Ehud Barak. Barak, former prime minister of Israel, called Epstein 'a collector of people' and wished him a long life. Many did not reply when asked about the letters. Barak, Chomsky's wife, and others refused to comment. Jeffrey Epstein's social circle shrank after his crimes had become known. He died in jail in 2019 while awaiting sex-trafficking trial.
