Speaking from the White House, she firmly denied any connection, calling the claims “false” and politically motivated. She urged the public to stop spreading what she described as misleading information and fabricated images.
Trump clarified that she never had a personal relationship with Epstein or Maxwell, and said her name has never appeared in any legal documents or investigations tied to the case.
She also addressed speculation about how she met Donald Trump, stating clearly that Epstein did not introduce them. According to her, the two met independently at a New York party in 1998, years before she ever encountered Epstein.
Regarding past emails with Maxwell, Trump dismissed them as casual and insignificant, saying a polite reply should not be interpreted as a deeper connection.
She also denied ever traveling on Epstein’s private plane or visiting his island, emphasizing she had no knowledge of his crimes at the time.
In a notable moment, Trump called on Congress to hold public hearings for Epstein’s victims, saying they deserve the chance to share their stories under oath.
The unexpected statement comes amid renewed attention on the Epstein case, as officials and the public continue to push for greater transparency and accountability.
