FBI doc says Epstein introduced Melania to Trump, but OK, let's go with "chance meeting"

by Jason Weinberger

Excerpt…

According to an unearthed FBI interview summary, the origin story of Donald and Melania Trump's meet-cute may not be the charming, chance encounter Melania wants us to believe. An FBI document involving a name the White House would very much prefer not be part of the conversation suggests otherwise.

But according to a 2019 FBI interview summary report, one witness – a female from Poland who claimed to have worked for Epstein in the mid-2000s – it was not Zampolli who introduced Mrs. Trump to the future president, but rather, Epstein himself.

"EPSTEIN introduced MELANIA TRUMP to DONALD TRUMP," the FBI summary document reads, written by an FBI special agent whose name was redacted in the document.

In her statement last week, Mrs. Trump explicitly denied that she had been introduced to her future husband by Epstein, saying that she instead met Mr. Trump "by chance, at a New York City party in 1998," noting that further details of the encounter were "documented in detail in my book, MELANIA." Zampolli, long a close friend to Mr. Trump, backed up Mrs. Trump's claim that same week by calling the allegation that Epstein introduced the two "nonsense."
