The most plausible explanation for first lady Melania Trump’s out-of-the-blue address on the Jeffrey Epstein drama was that she was trying to make it go away.

But her stunning on-camera statement Thursday from the White House Cross Hall — the spot where her husband last week spoke to the nation about the Iran war — will almost certainly have the opposite effect.

“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” she said, in a statement that was all the more remarkable since there had been no widespread public speculation about the matter in recent days.

    Did she really wanted to sweep it away?

    Because her method was akin to trying to put out a fire by tossing a bucket of gasoline on it.

    I feel like she either is too bmsumb to realise what she did or she might be trying to toss Donnie under a bus. It’s just too stupid a “mistake” to make to revive the Epstein files with such a huge event
