Melania Trump Slams 'Lies' About Her Connection to Disgraced Financier Jeffrey Epstein

Melania Trump denounced 'lies' connecting her to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein during a White House event, calling those who made such claims 'devoid of ethical standards'. The first lady's statement comes amid ongoing scrutiny over her association with Epstein, whom she met while living in the US in the 1990s.
