Epstein Assistant Told Feds He Introduced Melania to Trump, Files Reveal

Source: Daily Beast

A one-time assistant to Jeffrey Epstein told the FBI effectively under penalty of perjury that the pedophile introduced Donald Trump to his wife Melania, a newly released document shows.

The unnamed woman, a former model who worked as Epstein’s assistant for a year from 2005 to 2006, made the claim in July 2019, three days after her old boss was arrested by the FBI and charged with child sex trafficking. The 11-page, heavily redacted document was published in Friday’s dump of three million Epstein files and uncovered on Monday.

The bombshell claim about the couple’s origin story appeared in an FBI record dated November 2019, which details a July interview with a woman whose name was redacted—and who was given immunity to speak. The document is heavily redacted and suggests that the woman was treated as a victim of sexual assault, as well as a witness who offered horrific details of Epstein’s regime of sexual assault at on his private island.

The interview was with both FBI agents and career federal prosecutors, and is recorded as a “proffer agreement.” A “proffer” is when a witness gives evidence they assert is truthful in return for an agreement not to be prosecuted, or some other limited form of immunity. The document does not say what she was offered immunity from. Making a false statement to the FBI can lead to up to five years in prison.

HarperCollins UK retracts 'unverified' Melania-Epstein connection claims from new book

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Harpers Collins UK is retracting passages from a recently published book which peddles "unverified" claims that First Lady Melania Trump met her husband Donald Trump through disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial in 2019.

"HarperCollins UK recently published a book by Andrew Lownie titled ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.’ We have, in consultation with the author, removed passages of the book that referenced unverified claims about the First Lady of the United States Melania Trump," HarperCollins UK said in a statement posted on X on Tuesday.
