Declassified files say Epstein introduced Donald Trump to Melania

Declassified documents related to the case of financier Jeffrey Epstein state that he introduced U.S. President Donald Trump to his wife, Melania Trump.

The documents were released by the U.S. Department of Justice as part of the unsealing of records linked to Epstein, who was accused of sex trafficking and crimes involving minors.

The files include testimony from a former Epstein assistant, whose identity was not disclosed. In an interview with the FBI on July 12, 2019 — a week after Epstein’s arrest — she said Epstein had introduced Melania to Donald Trump.

The woman said she had previously worked as a model before accepting an offer from Epstein to work for him between 2005 and 2006. Her testimony also included information related to the personal lives of the current U.S. president and the former first lady.
