First lady calls on Congress to hold hearing with survivors of late financier’s abuse in statement delivered at White House

Melania Trump, the first lady, told reporters on Thursday that she “never had a relationship” with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

It was unclear which specific accusations spurred the first lady to respond publicly. She delivered her scripted remarks at a podium in the same room Donald Trump used to address the nation on the war in Iran last week.

    They’re trying to rewrite history in realtime.

    I just read this from CNN:

    President Trump has also denied any wrongdoing related to Epstein and has said he cut off ties with him in the early 2000s before his criminal conduct came to light. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by either of the Trumps.

    And yet, the Epstein files includes stuff like “Unnamed victim alleges Trump raped her”. Testimony is evidence. How can CNN claim there is “no evidence”?
