An impromptu "press conference" by First Lady, Melania Trump, denying any friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, felt like an attempt to get in front of a brewing story. The question we try to answer in this pod is what story that could be. The history of Melania's early modeling aspirations, and especially how she met her husband, have been stated emphatically but some details are undercut by emails in the Epstein files. A new book written about the House of York in the UK and recent interviews and public statements by a woman named Amanda Ungaro also call her assertions into question. We explore both of these and provide background on Amanda and her ex, Paolo Zampoli, current member of the administration, longtime friend of the Trumps, and man who insists he introduced Melania, not Jeffrey Epstein. A lengthy interview planned for Amanda Ungaro on a network in Brazil may be the catalyst for Melania's rush statement. Time will tell, even if the DOJ doesn't.
