Officials within the Trump White House are saying they were completely caught off guard by First Lady Melania Trump’s on-camera statement in which she denied having any sort of relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Her husband, President Donald Trump—who shared a decades-long friendship with the disgraced financier—has repeatedly insisted that the Epstein files are a “Democrat hoax” and has urged his supporters to stop discussing the matter.
But his wife going public with a statement calling upon Congress to hear the testimony of Epstein’s victims reportedly took the president and his staff by surprise.
