Melania Trump has denied any involvement with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. However, a former Brazilian model has made a bombshell claim about the first lady, contradicting what Melania has previously said.
In April, First Lady Melania Trump called a surprise White House press conference. Speaking from the Cross Hall, she denied any involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, stating she was neither his victim nor his accomplice.
She further urged Congress to hold public hearings with victims to expose the late convicted sex trafficker.
“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” Melania said. “Donald and I were invited to the same parties as Epstein from time to time since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach. To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, [Ghislaine] Maxwell.”
The first lady continued, “I have never had any knowledge of Epstein’s abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein’s plane and never visited his private island.”
“Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone,” Melania Trump concluded.

President Donald Trump has been heavily linked to Jeffrey Epstein for many years; however, he has denied any ties to him. Still, not long after Melania Trump’s on-camera statement, Trump decided to break the silence.
Per MS Now journalist Jacqueline Alemany, the president admitted that he “didn’t know anything about’ Melania’s statement before her appearance on camera.
The 79-year-old also claimed that “she didn’t know [Epstein]” before hanging up the phone.
However, now, a few months later, a fresh allegation against First Lady Melania Trump regarding Jeffrey Epstein has been made.
A former associate of Melania Trump has made a sensational claim that the first lady was an “escort” for Jeffrey Epstein and met the president through the notorious sex offender.
Reported by the Daily Beast, Former Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro dropped the bombshell allegation in a taped recording, accusing her ex-partner, Paolo Zampolli, of lying about having introduced Melania and Donald Trump at a party in 1998.
New bombshell allegations connecting her to Jeffrey Epstein
The story of how Melania Knauss later met her future husband while working as one of Zampolli’s models in New York has since become part of MAGA folklore.
In April, during her surprise press conference, Melania denied what she described as “mean-spirited and politically motivated lies” linking her to the late convicted sex offender.
“Let’s tell the public you never was the one introducing Melania to Trump. It was Jeffrey Epstein, as she was escort of Jeffrey Epstein. That’s how she met Donald Trump,” Ungaro claims in the WhatsApp recording.
“And I know, because I was with you 20 years and you always told me it was not you—it was Jeffrey Epstein,” she added.
However, in the post Ungaro shared on X, she challenged that version of events. Ungaro was 17 when she boarded Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express,” on a flight from Paris to New York in June 2002. She was accompanied by her then-agent, French modeling scout Jean-Luc Brunel, who was later accused of recruiting young women for Epstein.
Zampolli says comments about “marvelous first lady” are a “disgrace”
The pair moved in the same social circles as Donald and Melania Trump for years and were photographed together at several Mar-a-Lago events.
Ungaro also made headlines last year after accusing Zampolli of using his political connections in Washington to influence U.S. immigration authorities during their ongoing custody dispute. Moreover, she has been involved in a bitter custody battle with Zampolli for months.
The latest allegation, posted on Ungaro’s X account, which has since been deleted, has once again brought the Epstein scandal back into the spotlight. Amanda Ungaro claimed that Zampolli was “covering” for Melania and that Melania was doing the same for him, after he was appointed to a powerful position within the Trump administration.
In a short statement to the Daily Beast, Zampolli, who now holds the position of Special Envoy for Global Partnerships and is a member of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, responded to the claims made by Ungaro, saying, “I think it is a disgrace that she dares to say this about our marvelous first lady.”
He continued, “I’m truly concerned for her health, and I think she truly needs some therapy.”
