A newly surfaced FBI document is raising fresh questions about Melania Trump—and whether her past statements about Jeffrey Epstein fully add up.
Last week, Melania Trump issued a statement denying any connection to Epstein and rejecting claims that he introduced her to Donald Trump. The statement caught many off guard, especially since it appeared to come out of nowhere.
Trump ally Paolo Zampolli quickly backed her up, insisting he—not Epstein—was responsible for introducing the future couple.
But an FBI interview summary from 2019 tells a different story.
According to the document, a witness who claimed to have worked for Epstein in the mid-2000s alleged that it was Epstein himself who made the introduction.
“EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP,” the FBI summary states.
That directly contradicts Melania Trump’s version of events, in which she said she met Trump “by chance” at a New York party in 1998—a story she also detailed in her memoir, Melania.
The FBI document includes additional, unverified claims from the same witness, including allegations involving Zampolli and Epstein’s interactions within the modeling world. None of those claims have been confirmed by investigators.
The report also revisits a previously known connection: a 2002 email exchange between someone identified as “Melania” and Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a prison sentence for her role in Epstein’s crimes. Melania Trump has dismissed that exchange as “casual correspondence.”
None of the individuals mentioned—Melania Trump, Donald Trump, or Zampolli—are facing criminal charges related to these claims.
Still, the resurfaced report adds another layer of scrutiny to a story that, despite repeated denials, refuses to fully go away.
