Melania's 'Love' Email to Ghislaine Revealed in Epstein Files

A gushing email exchange between first lady Melania Trump and Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was included in the latest dump of Epstein files.

In the first message from 2002, Melania praised a New York magazine article about Epstein and complemented the socialite now serving 20 years in prison for sex-trafficking.

“Dear G! How are you?” it starts. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.”

At the time, the first lady was still Melania Knauss and was just dating Trump.

The pair were photographed with Epstein and Maxwell around that time, but the email appears to be the first written communication between Melania and Maxwell in the files.

I'm not ever sure she's evil, she just seems to stupid to be purposefully harmful... she's more just incredibly self-centered

Her parents were spies. She was a honey pot trap to launder exKGB money for Putin and other oligarchs thru trump.

She plays dumb because it is part of the deep cover
