Melania Trump 'Very Involved' In Epstein Scandal: Author

The First Lady has largely avoided the hot topic, but Trump biographer Michael Wolff suggests that she’s acting behind the scenes.

Longtime Trump biographer Michael Wolff says that First Lady Melania could be the missing link in President Donald Trump’s ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wolff told Daily Beast Podcast host Joanna Coles that Melania was “very involved” in Epstein’s social circle and noted that this is how she met Trump.

“She’s introduced by a model agent, both of whom Trump and Epstein are involved with. She’s introduced to Trump that way. Epstein [knew] her well,” Wolff said.

Trump and the future first lady reportedly first met in September 1998 through Paolo Zampolli, the founder of ID Models, who helped Melania emigrate to the United States. Zampolli had ties to Epstein and his now-incarcerated partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell, Politico reported. In explosive tapes recorded by Wolff, Epstein alleged that Trump liked to “f---” his friends’ wives and first slept with Melania on his “Lolita Express.”

Since March 2025, Zampolli has served as Trump’s special representative for global partnerships. The MAGA loyalist has a giant oil painting of Trump in his $17 million Georgetown mansion. “Where does [Melania] fit into the Epstein story? Where does she fit into this, into this whole culture of models of indeterminate age?” Wolff said. “So this is another complicated dimension in this.”

Having seen more than a few bizarre pics of them when she was a teen, it seems pretty obvious that there was at least psychological, if not actual physical, incest going on.

believe it. She is totally transactional in this marriage. Once he leaves or gets heaved out of office she will be done and on her way. And of course she won't join him at the White House. I always wondered what she had going on in her private life. The way she looked at the PM of Canada was lascivious.

One way or the other.

I love it.

Once Melanoma is thoroughly disgraced in this country maybe she can take 80% of his money and go haunt some other continent. Or better yet, she can go to jail, too.

Meidas Touch and he said he had the Tapes.

Also that no one seemed interested.. that was maybe a month or two ago.

I asked the OP if he had a body guard?
