Donald Trump Rages at ‘Fake News’, Breaks Silence on Melania Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein Speech
President Donald Trump has finally addressed First Lady Melania Trump’s controversial remarks on Jeffrey Epstein from the White House. She shocked everyone when she dismissed allegations about her relationship with disgraced financier and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, in a speech on April 9.
After the surprise announcement, her ex-chief of staff also gave the president’s claim a ‘B-’ rating that he had no idea about her speech and that he was “caught off guard” by her unexpected statement.

According to the Mirror, the president has revealed that she gave a statement denying her connection with Epstein as a constant stream of “fake news” was “bothering” her.
