Paolo Zampolli
Introduction
Paolo Zampolli (Italian-USian, born March 5, 1970, Milan, Italy) is the United States Special Envoy for Global Partnerships under Donald John Trump and a member of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. [1][2] Paolo Zampolli founded the New York modelling agency ID Model Management in the mid-1990s, sponsored Melania Knausss H-1B work visa in 1996, and introduced Melania Knauss to Donald Trump at a party he hosted in September 1998. [1][3] His successive US government appointments across both Trump administrations trace directly to that three-decade personal friendship rather than to any prior diplomatic or policy experience. [1][2]
Paolo Zampolli now lives primarily in Washington DC in a reported $17 million Georgetown home, the walls of which are said to be filled with photographs of him and Donald Trump. [74][108] Paolo Zampollis name appears in 11 documents in the Department of Justices 2026 Epstein file releases, alongside a 2011 email in which Jeffrey Epstein warned an Emirati correspondent: Be careful, zampoli is trouble. Lots. [6][15] He has never been criminally charged. The New York Times reported on March 20, 2026 that he used access to a senior federal immigration official to have the mother of his teenage son deported during a custody dispute, a claim he denies. [5] He is referenced but not named as a defendant in a 2018 federal RICO complaint in the Southern District of New York concerning Harvey Weinsteins defence strategy. [7][8]
Between April 7 and April 19, 2026, the Paolo Zampolli file went from long-running background scandal to active political crisis. His former partner Amanda Ungaro, deported to Brazil in 2025, returned to public attention by posting direct threats at First Lady Melania Trump on X, stating that the First Lady knew Amanda Ungaro had been inside ICE detention and accusing Donald Trump of sex crimes. [59][62] Two days later, on April 9, 2026, Melania Trump delivered a statement from the White House Grand Foyer denying any friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and rejecting suggestions that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump. [58][108] Paolo Zampolli publicly offered to testify before Congress under oath to support her account. [55][52] Amanda Ungaro gave a sequence of interviews to El País, O Globo, the Miami Herald, Newsweek, and the Courier in which she described Paolo Zampolli as a recruiter of young women for Jeffrey Epstein, alleged that Paolo Zampolli harassed her from the age of 15, and stated she had agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee. [16][56][60][61] Amanda Ungaro is scheduled to appear on the Italian state broadcaster RAIs investigative programme Report on April 19, 2026, which the programmes director has trailed as containing explosive revelations at an international level.
