Trump claims Epstein victims 'refused to go under oath' after Melania pushes Congress to swear them in

Donald Trump says he’s “OK” with the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse testifying to members of Congress but falsely claimed that they “didn’t want to go under oath.”

The president and his administration have been desperate to wind down public scrutiny into the well-connected sex offender and federal law enforcement’s handling of the cases against him and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

But in surprise remarks from the White House, First Lady Melania Trump last week denied any connections to Epstein and his crimes and urged members of Congress to provide survivors with a public hearing.

“I’m OK with it but I understand that the women didn’t want to go under oath, that’s what I heard,” Trump told reporters Thursday. “That the women, or the victims or whatever, they refused to go under oath. Which was a little surprising.”
