Originally published at: Melania Wants Hearings for Her Husband’s Friend’s Victims?
While the Justice Department actively attempts to shield fired-Attorney General Pam Bondi from having to sit for a deposition before the House Oversight Committee about the DOJ’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the first lady is actively calling for more Epstein related hearings. This was not on my bingo card… In a bizarre and…
In a bizarre and increasingly rare public statement on camera this afternoon, First Lady Melania Trump denied ever having a relationship with Epstein, the convicted sex offender and financier who died while in federal prison after being charged with trafficking young girls, or with his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
The first thing that I noticed was that Nicole LaFond did not say “committed suicide.”
@castor_troy, are you a TPM reporter whisperer?

First Lady: ‘I am innocent, so stop talking about me.’
She’s trying to make it appear that she is a victim. She knows nothin’.

Evidence is just so overwhelming that there’s a coverup of something that even mainstream folx are finally getting there.

I’m waiting for the first libel case Melania brings where she tries to prove that her reputation has been damaged. She hasn’t chosen to bite on a decade or so of people publicly calling her little more that’s a prostitute… I wonder what it’ll take?

In other news per MS Now:
“The Justice Department has opened an investigation into whether the National Football League has engaged in anticompetitive tactics that harm consumers, according to people familiar with the situation.”
He just hates the NFL or is it because they refuse to let him play?

I love how she is concerned that others use smearing the good name of people for political gain.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Melania’s cutting bait. They can’t hide the fact that her husband is batshit crazy (and may not be on this mortal coil for much longer). Her son is eligible for the draft. She still has dual citizenship. She now has the plane DHS bought for Kristi and Corey to use for her personal needs.
I would not be surprised if her prenup agreement has been satisfied and she says, “I’m out.”

He hates the NFL. And, and I know this is going to come as a surprise, he’s self-destructive and stupid.

This wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card. What a fucking bizarre spectacle.
Where did this even come from? Why now?
The only thing I can think of is that they are trying to turn the truth into a lie. She DID know Epstein, people aren’t making that up. But by calling the truth a lie, then the truth about Epstein is damaged.
Like the accusations, and MOUNTAINS of evidence against him, become less credible when someone who was on the inside says that reality isn’t reality. It’s a con job–twisting things up and calling for hearings for the survivors as if the allegations (and charges by authorities) against Epstein aren’t true.

Further to maybe discredit the entire Epstein investigation?
But I have to agree in any case, it is bizarre.

Funny how Mel says that the files shouldn’t get any more attention going forward, but that the victims should testify before Congress. Doing so could put their safety at risk from the nutsos who have already been sending them rape and death threats.
Shorter Melania:
I really don’t care, do you?

“damage to my good name“
Too late for that. It’s beyond damaged and she did it to herself.

“I was told there would whining.” And boy oh boy we got whining out the wazoo.
